Bonuses

When you attend a windsurfing lesson with Damo, you actually get two lessons in one! You get a sailboarding lesson, and a basic stand up paddle boarding lesson!

Damo has found that the most effective way to run lessons is by using a combination of paddle boards and sailboards. So while you are sailing, he can be paddling without a sail in the way which allows him to better instruct you on the use of a sailboard. Then while Damo is giving demonstrations, you can be on the stand up paddle board so that you can easily see what Damo is doing and how he is doing it since you aren't worrying about your sail, or even worrying about staying on your board since paddle boards are so easy to maintain balance on.

Using a stand up paddle board offers an advantage over an alternative such as a kayak as well because it gives both you and Damo a higher vantage point to watch from!

So you get to learn the basics of handling a stand up paddle board whilst also learning how to sailboard, hows that for value?

Not everyone is an expert at stand up paddling

At Goodtime we know that not everyone is an expert and not everyone has a friend of a friend who knows a guy who's brother will teach you to stand up and surf on your new stand up paddle board.

Perhaps you aren't sure you even want to try stand up paddle boarding and just want to get out in the surf and get a taste for it before you look at seriously getting into it? Maybe your kids have seen it and want to give it a try but you don't want to buy a board until you know they like it.

That's not a problem. We run stand up paddle surfing lessons at Redcliffe on Sundays if the weather is suitable (we will notify you if your lesson needs to be postponed) and we provide all the gear you need for the lesson, including the use of one of our training stand up paddle boards. So if you want to give it a go, send us an email or give us a call on 07 3391 8588 for prices and to make a booking. It's important that you do as we don't run lessons every Sunday.

What about the kids? Can they learn too?

If you are after lessons for your kids, just let us know when you book. Stand up paddle boarding is suitable for both adults and kids from the age of 5 and up, it really is the definition of a truly versatile sport! Don't believe us? Ellie is one of our younger riders who gets out there with the best of them on her SUP!

Group lessons?

Got a few friends that want to learn to stand up paddle surf too? Let us know, group lessons are available!

Want to try it out a bit more on your own?

Already had a taste of stand up paddle surfing or had a lesson with us but want to give it a bit more of a try on your own before you get a board? At Goodtime we have a fleet of stand up paddle boards and paddles available for hire for as little as a day at a time, or up to a few weeks if you would like to take a paddle board on holidays with you to really try it out before you buy one.

Give us a call on 07 3391 8588 or send us an email for further details or to book a lesson or hire.
