    FAQs

    Arrive at least 10 minutes before your start time so you can get suited up, store your things, and be ready for the land demo.

    No. You can join even if you’ve never paddleboarded. If you don’t know how to swim, you’ll wear a life jacket and a stand-up paddleboard (SUP) leash attached to the board.

    Wear comfortable athletic clothes or swimwear. Bring a towel, sun protection (hat, sunscreen, sunglasses with a strap recommended), and water. For dogs, bring a flat leash (no retractable leashes) and treats if needed (for example, if your dog has allergies).

    Sam, the instructor behind this San Diego paddle boarding experience, has built a devoted following for good reason. She has a genuine talent for making both first-timers and nervous dogs feel at ease on the water, offering clear instruction before and during each session. Reviewers consistently praise her patience, deep knowledge of dog behavior, and ability to read both humans and their pups to tailor the experience accordingly. The lessons run about an hour and are offered as private sessions, making them feel personal rather than rushed. Sam also snaps photos throughout, which many reviewers mention as a lovely bonus. People bring all kinds of dogs, from anxious and water-resistant pups to high-energy breeds, and the boards are described as stable and accommodating even for larger dogs. Many visitors come back for multiple lessons, and quite a few mention wishing they lived closer so they could go regularly. If paddle boarding with your dog in San Diego is on your radar, this one seems hard to beat.

    Who knew a dog could love stand up paddle boarding this much? Zero fear, maximum zoomies on the board and constant tail-wagging approval. Sam is an amazing teacher, encourager and photographer! Don’t miss out!
