Description

Paddle Method is an accredited SUP school that is all about making SUP instruction fun and accessible for all. Paddle Method is a learning methodology that takes a complex paddle stroke technique (derived from a SUP race and SUP surf paddle stroke) and breaks it down into easy to understand elements so that paddlers of all levels will be able to paddle confidently and get a low impact, high powered calorie burning water workout. This technique focuses on engaging and synchronizing body movement with the paddle stroke in order to create, maximize and control the paddler’s momentum so that anyone can have fun and explore all the waterways that southern California has to offer with confidence.

Personal and Small Group Personal Coaching is for the SUP enthusiasts who want to build more knowledge, get truly unique water workouts along with the chance to explore Socal’s waterways. Personal coaching offers a chance to get individual attention on your stroke for maximum results, state-of-the-art GPS and Stroke rate monitors are used in conjunction with Video and goal specific drills and, for some, SUP race and SUP surf opportunities.

Paddle Method offers the best guided SUP tours in LA! All tours have an instruction component embedded geared for beginners and intermediate paddlers so that all anyone can learn basic and intermediate stroke technique while exploring the scenic waterways in and around Los Angeles — from Malibu to Palos Verdes!

    Tom was fantastic. I actually got up and was able to paddle around the harbor, albeit slowpokily, without falling in. Tim really knowledgeable and was able to cater to each person’s specific questions. Po had a great time and plan to go back again for a more intense lesson.

    Enjoyed the paddling a lot. We were taught the basics, which is just what we needed, and then had 45 min. to paddle around and look at the abundant sea life in this littler lagoon. We will be back for subsequent classes in the series. We did not get a formal confirmation, perhaps because we were asked to switch the time informally with the instructors, but we would have appreciated this, since we had no information on what to wear, where to park or how to tell Paddle Method from several other paddle board operations on the beach. I've received this kind of info by email in advance with other CourseHorse classes. The last 2 factors led to us being 10 minutes late, which the instructor was mildly irked about. Fortunately, we were dressed for the water when we got there.
