Feel like you need an intro before you are ready to hit the water with your family? We think it’s a great idea to get all the safety knowledge and the basic skills before you take your family out. We highly recommend Coastal Stoke SUP Squamish as a top resource for Stand Up Paddle instruction and ocean safety. We have been out many times with Tina & Norm and they are a wealth of knowledge & enthusiasm. See our post here on SUP tips for families.
