Learn to SUP: Build Skills. Find Flow.

Ready to feel confident on a paddleboard?

Our Learn to SUP class is a welcoming, two-hour introduction designed to help you paddle smarter — not harder — so you can truly enjoy your time on the water.

For just $60, you’ll learn from an ACA-certified (American Canoe Association) instructor in a small, supportive group of just 2–6 students. That means personalized attention, real feedback, and space to grow.

An instructor on a dock stands on a paddle board while a student stands in the background. The instructor is down low, demonstrating a wide turning stroke with her paddle. Several paddle boards are prepared and sitting on the dock.

Floathouse Petaluma instructors demonstrate on the dock first, so students can get their strokes down before going on the water.

We’ll cover:

  • Proper stance and balance

  • Efficient paddle technique

  • Turning and maneuvering

  • Launching and returning to the dock

  • River awareness and safety basics

Many people hop on a board and think they’re having fun — but they’re working twice as hard as they need to. This class unlocks the “aha” moments that make paddleboarding smoother, more efficient, and way more enjoyable.

Held right in the heart of downtown Petaluma on the beautiful Petaluma River, this is your chance to build skills in a calm, supportive environment — and start feeling at home on the water.

Bring a friend, learn together, and find your flow.

All equipment included.
