Lessons
If you’re brand new to SUP and wanting to give it a try or have some experience and are looking to sharpen your skills, teaming up with one of our guides is a great way to get you out and enjoying the lake or river. From our Steamboat location we offer both flat water and river lessons designed to build your confidence on the board.Paddleboarding on the Yampa River, or any river, is an adventure requiring some balance. Yes, you can just sit on the board and the let the current and the whitewater take you down the river, but what's the fun in that? Paddleboarding a river takes some practice and some know-how of proper stances and paddle strokes to make it from just floating down the river, to actually paddling the river.Now, our duckys (inflatable kayaks) are more geared to just floating. With a ducky, you still have a paddle and have lots of control, but you're sitting and the rush of getting water splashed in your face paddling through waves makes for an amazing adventure.
