About this experience
This stand up paddle board session on the water is all geared towards getting you the best possible pictures from your visit at Rudee Inlet Stand Up Paddle, while teaching you about paddle boarding and the local area! Make no mistake though! This is a photo session! It just does not feel like one! This experience is unique and everyone has told me (randy) over the last 14 years that this is the best activity of their entire trip! We have our own Bald Eagles nest and many potential types of wildlife sightings! We go for a paddleboard run and take pictures along the way! If you like yoga or just cool pictures, we will have so much fun! Please look at our Tripadvisor reviews to see that this is an experience you cannot miss! This entire activity is in the protected backwaters of Rudee Inlet, not in the ocean. kids under 10 are free! they just ride on my board! limit 2! 2 adult minimum 10 and over.
