Course Description:

Taught by our Ed Staff through Wasatch Whitewater Kayak School


Come spend a day on the water and sharpen those balance skills in the off-season! Stand up paddleboarding and whitewater kayaking are two great crossover sports to fill your summer months and remember what it's like to be a student learning a new sport again. We will not only learn a new sport, but compare and contrast it to our snowsports that we love so much! We will take a look and identify how these water sports relate to the technical fundamentals and also incorporate the people skills component.

Day one in a SUP is geared towards understanding the basics of SUPing. A good foundation of skills and knowledge of equipment will help to set you up correctly for a successful paddling career. This first class is an introduction to paddling your SUP and gets you ready for the river. We will spend the first hour going over equipment and outfitting boats to fit each student. You will then learn paddling strokes and board control.


  • Paddle strokes (forward, sweep, bow and stern draws)
  • Board control
  • Safety maneuvers
  • Bracing


All necessary equipment will be provided for this clinic.
