Build skills and confidence together with two 1-hour private stand-up paddleboard lessons, scheduled on different days. Paddle with your dog (or dogs) and get guided coaching each session.
Dogs must remain leashed while on site and during the experience.
Full refund or reschedule with at least 24 hours notice before your scheduled booking. Cancellations within 24 hours are non refundable. If SUP Pups cancels due to unsafe weather or unforeseen circumstances, you can reschedule or receive a full refund. No shows will be charged the full booking amount.
Arrive at least 10 minutes before your scheduled start time. Late arrival reduces your water time because sessions run back-to-back.
Yes. Complete the liability waiver before you arrive so you can spend more time on the water.

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!
