If you are a newbie to paddling, Gasparilla island is the perfect place to try out SUP.

With it's calmer waters and abundance of dolphins, manatees, and shorebirds; there is no better area to try out this incredibly fun sport.

As a Coastal Master Naturalist, PaddleFit 3/ ASI certified instructor,I can take you on a nature journey that you might not see on your own.

Safety is my #1 priority.  Once you learn the basics of water safety and paddling techniques, you'll fall in love with the water in a whole new way!
