Overview

This stand up paddle board session on the water is all geared towards getting you the best possible pictures from your visit at Rudee Inlet Stand Up Paddle, while teaching you about paddle boarding and the local area! Make no mistake though! This is a photo session! It just does not feel like one! This experience is unique and everyone has told me (randy) over the last 14 years that this is the best activity of their entire trip! We have our own Bald Eagles nest and many potential types of wildlife sightings! We go for a paddleboard run and take pictures along the way! If you like yoga or just cool pictures, we will have so much fun! Please look at our Cool Destinations reviews to see that this is an experience you cannot miss! This entire activity is in the protected backwaters of Rudee Inlet, not in the ocean. kids under 10 are free! they just ride on my board! limit 2! 2 adult minimum 10 and over.

What's Included

  • We provide basically gorgeous boards and carbon fiber paddles all new and perfect! We also provide coaching, encouragement and fun! And of course Life Jackets!

What To Expect

I will coach you up on the dock, then we set off on an adventure. We
learn to paddle and/or just a bit of coaching then take best photos of your
trip! KIDS 9 AND UNDER ARE FREE LIMIT 2 must have two other paying participants in group! Family fun or party fun we are going to be on the water Stand Up Paddling and having a blast taking the best photos of your vacation, or of the summer if you live here! Text Randy to ask about bringing a couple beverages in the cooler/backpack! This is a very very simple activity but if you want it to be simpler so you can get out on the water and get those money shots, you can also simply sit on the board and paddle along with your friends or family if you do not feel like standing up! Most likely by the end everyone will try!
