The Floathouse Petaluma is proud to offer SUP classes with American Canoe Association-qualified SUP instructors. Learn the basics from a pro and improve your technique, increase your competence and take the first strokes toward enjoying this sport with confidence.

Our instructors have years of teaching and paddling experience and will guide you on your own personal journey. Whether you want to advance to coastal stand up paddling, or just feel more comfortable whenever and wherever you paddle, The Floathouse is your launch point.

You’ll learn on our stable TAO Fit 11’ boards, and with a full two hour lesson and small class sizes (6 max), you’ll get plenty of personalized attention. The Petaluma River is a calm and protected waterway, and we’re here to help you go as far as you like, offering intermediate and private lessons as well.

Cost is $85 for a 2-hour class, including board rental. Limited to six students.

Beginner class covers SUP equipment & sizing, paddling strokes, transitioning from dock to board safely, proper posture, board handling tips & practice time.

Intermediate class (contact us or check back for new dates) is for those who have taken The Floathouse’s or another beginner class or who have had at least 15 hours of paddling experience. Covers faster forward paddle, cadence, draw strokes and bladework.

Learn more, paddle more, have more fun.
