Boards and Equipment
We will provide boards, paddles, leashes, and any equipment. We have a decent selection of new NSP boards including all-around (for use in flatwater/ocean/surf) and race sups. Paddles are moderate weight adjustable.
If you prefer your own board and or paddle and want travel with or ship it down you are more than welcome. Hard boards are preferred. We do not recommend iSUPs for a number of the sessions we will be doing on the water.
How can I get my board there?
Though we do provide boards, paddlers often prefer their own equipment. We do have limited quantities of race boards therefore we keep our Camp group size small.
