SUP : Imagine being able to serenely stand on the ocean and watch dolphins dive past you, hear sea lions bark, or even a little sea otter spotting as you cruise the Monterey Bay.

Now you don’t need to imagine anymore – the team at Tri Shop is able to make walking on water a reality!!  

With the wind in our hair and the sun on our backs we can gracefully glide over the waters of the harbor, the kelp beds by Steamers Lane or tour the Santa Cruz beaches.

 

Stand Up Paddle (SUP) rentals and lessons are now offered at Tri Shop Santa Cruz. 

 

Our SUP classes are small and intimate with no more than 6 persons per group.

This way you get individual attention and direction on how to stand up and correcting your strokes.  Our beginner lessons start in the calm waters of the harbor as we get comfortable on the SUP boards often to the curiosity of the harbor seals, pelicans and sea otters!  Graduating to the open water for a more challenging workout.

SUP Introductory Lesson:  

New Sup’ers are taught the important environmental and technical aspects of stand up paddling.  We get you up on your boards and typically newbie Sup’ers are paddling on the water confidently by the end of their first lesson.  Lesson fee includes SUP board and paddle rental, tuition and FUN!!

 

Book your stand up paddle lesson 9am and 5pm daily in the summer!  SUPing with the harbor seals and sea otters - what could be more enjoyable?
