Paddleboard Classes | 1.5–2.5 Hrs

How It Works

Start with Paddleboard Intro to learn basic strokes, or circle up on our floating yoga dock for Paddleboard Stretch & Tone. Both classes are designed to be repeated as often as you like to build comfort on the water.

Once you can glide (typically takes a few Intros or structured classes elsewhere) you’re ready for Paddleboard Skills. This class focuses on refining your stroke and ends with a Personal Best Time Trial (four laps, one mile).

Getting Started

Paddleboard Intro | 1.5 Hours

First Strokes & Balance: Learn how to carry, launch, stand up safely, steer, turn, stop, and back up. You’ll practice an efficient forward stroke using the Catch, Power, and Return technique. This is a no-pressure environment to get your bearings on the water.

🟢 All Levels. No prior experience required.

Paddleboard Stretch & Tone | 1.5 Hours

Core & Balance Floating Fitness: Circle up around our floating yoga dock for a fun, no-experience-needed fitness class on safely secured boards. Wind down with a mix of yoga, core work, and balance with plenty of laughs – surrounded by golden water at sunset.

🟢 All Levels. No prior experience required.

Paddleboard Skills | 2.5 Hours

Advanced Strokes & Turns: Repeat this class to fine-tune your blade placement and body positioning for an efficient stroke. We cover advanced turns and a time trial to track your personal pace. When river currents and winds are slow, we head onto the wide-open Hudson for an Open River Session. This is a workout loop on the river, not a trip.

🟦 Prerequisites: Requires our Paddleboard Intro or equivalent formal class instruction.

What’s Next?

Once you hit a sub-17 minute mile—woo hoo!—three tracks open up for you: Tempo Training, Technique & Velocity Training, and Intermediate River Trips. These trainings and trips are shared with our kayak community, so you need to be ready to ride with them.
