Three of my friends and I all met at SoBe Surf for lessons and additional time just paddling around. Our instructor Toby (amazing teacher), tailored the teaching to our level and then as we progressed on the SUP boards he gave us more advance paddle tips. After an hour of instructions, he left us on our own to play. I totally fell in love with SUP boarding, I still like my kayak, but this was so much more fun; you can stand, sit, lay-down on the boards or just sit and chat. Girard, the owner is just as great as Toby. He is very knowledgeable about this sport and and the equipment, he answered all our questions (you can imagine how many we had between 4 girls!) about the different style of boards, paddles, fins....etc. Yes, I had to buy one!
Highly recommend using SoBe Surf for any adventure you, your family and friends are looking to do. SUP boarding, surf boarding and kayaking...
