This Tour: You'll be sized for a board and paddle upon arrival and check in. We'll start with a overview lesson on the basics of proper stroke technique. After the lesson, certified experienced SUP instructors will load the paddlers one by one onto a properly sized board. Once everyone is up, we'll move as a group along the shoreline making our way to our first canal and second lake. After about 15-20 mins of paddling, we'll take a sit down break and give our feet a rest. During this time the instructors will demonstrate additional turning and board handling techniques. Making our way around the lake, we'll stop once more to make sure we have a picture of everybody on their board or with their group. Don't worry, if you come by yourself you are bound to have new friends by the end of the tour! Returning to dinky dock we'll exchange (air) hugs and (air) high fives. The on water views include lush modern urban landscaped yards and homes connected by an array of historic old logging canals linking the 5 lake chain. The lakes are some of the cleanest in central Florida and ideal for swimming.
