Course Description: What better way to start your day! The early morning SUP Refresh & Practice session is designed for paddlers who have previously taken a lesson or have similar experience and want to refine their skills with instructor guidance. It’s perfect for seasonal paddlers looking for a confidence boost after winter, those who want a quick refresher before getting back on the water, or anyone who prefers to paddle with others rather than going solo. Guidance and feedback will be provided as needed, but no new skills will be introduced.

F.A.Q
Do I need to sign a waiver to participate?
Yes, all participants must complete a liability waiver before taking part in any EBT SUP programs.
What should I bring to the lesson?
To make the most of your time on the water, we recommend bringing the following:
Essential Items:
- Equipment: Paddleboard, leash, paddle, life jacket, and pump (if using your own gear, ensure you have everything).
- Appropriate Clothing: Quick-dry clothing, swimsuit, rash guard, or wetsuit—dress for the water temperature.
- Towel & Change of Clothes: You’ll likely get wet, so bring a towel and dry, warm clothes for after your lesson.
- Water & Snacks: Stay hydrated and keep your energy up.
Optional but Recommended:
- Camping Chair: Some lessons include land-based instruction—stay comfortable while learning.
- Waterproof Bag + Carabiner: Keep personal items dry and secure on your board.
- Waterproof Phone Case: Capture moments safely on the water.
- Hat & Sunglasses: Sun protection is key—secure them with a strap to prevent loss.
- Sunscreen: Choose a waterproof option for all-day protection.
Bringing the right gear ensures a safe, fun, and comfortable paddleboarding experience!
What happens if the weather is bad?
We paddle rain or shine!
However, if there is a weather alert, the lesson may be postponed or cancelled at the time of the session. We closely monitor conditions—including weather, smoke, and wind speed—several times leading up to your lesson: a few days before, the night before, the morning of, two hours before, and at the time of the lesson. We use multiple weather apps and on-site observations to ensure safety at all times.
Do I need prior paddleboarding experience?
Prior paddleboarding experience is required, as this is not a lesson. If you're new to SUP, we recommend starting with the Basic Skills course. The Refresh & Practice session is ideal for paddlers with at least beginner-level experience who want to refine their skills, regain confidence after winter, or paddle with others under instructor guidance. Comfort in and around deep water will enhance your overall experience.
What should I wear for the lesson?
We recommend dressing for the water temperature, not just the air temperature.
Early season (cold water below 65°F): Wearing immersion-appropriate gear is mandatory, such as a wetsuit, drysuit, or layered quick-dry clothing—avoid cotton!
Warmer months: If you're comfortable with cooler water, a light wetsuit, swimsuit, rash guard, or quick-dry clothing works well.
We continuously monitor water conditions and will send an email before your lesson with specific recommendations.
