My instructor, Tim, taught me a lot about paddle boarding and gave me some strong insights in life too. You learn a lot when you free yourself and connect with the ocean and nature.

“Iu2019ve gone paddle boarding with Tim twice this month and loved it both times. I tried it years ago elsewhere, but this experience was far better. Tim is kind, patient, and keeps things engaging u2014 the time flies. Marina del Rey is the perfect setting, and Iu2019m already looking forward to coming back (especially for the sunset cruise).”

“Great instruction and practical drills to help you learn the skills needed to SUP and navigate the marina. Each of us were impressed with our new abilities and enjoyed showing off for one another. Out in the marina we spotted sea lions and birds. There was also a rowing team, both small and large boats on the move and a vast number of boats docked there. It is so rewarding to experience the smooth and peaceful glide ”

“Paddle boarding for the first time and it went amazing especially with Paddle Method! My group of 8 and I had so much fun, they gave us a quick lesson and took their time and making sure we knew how to utilize the paddle and board correctly, safety first but made it so much fun. The price for two hours was good too! Thank you Paddle Method! Also Tim was nice enough to take pictures for us! Thank you tim!! ud83dude0a”

“From our first approach, Tim, Zoey, and Nick immediately greeted us like old friends. Clearly impassioned with the whole world of paddle boarding, Tim's enthusiasm is infectious. He worked to find exactly the gear and riding style that suited our experience level, desires for the day, and existing weather conditions. We got exactly what we were looking for. I suspect that whether one wanted a casual bit of recreation”
