PRIVATE LESSONS/TOURS
SUP Rentals by BIC, Oxbow, SIC, & Quickblade
PRIVATE LESSONS – (Approximately 1 1/2 – 2 hours)
These lessons are great for all levels. They will take place along a beautiful stretch of the Bay of Banderas, where it is common to see numerous varieties of marine life, and whales when in season. Learn the basics of SUP paddling technique to make it a full body workout or improve your existing technique so you become more efficient and have more fun. We can get more technical if you want on your technique, so you can jump into a race. If your ultimate goal is to SUP surf, we highly recommend a Private Lesson to become more comfortable on your board and to become a solid paddler, before heading into the waves. You just may catch a wave at the end of the lesson, if the conditions permit.

Enjoy a relaxing paddle into the sunset in the Bay of Banderas. There is nothing like viewing a sunset from the water. As the sun sets over the ocean, the colors come alive and the tranquility of the water adds peace to the day. What a spectacular way to end another day in paradise. After the first of the year when the sunset gets later, we can turn this paddle in to the happy hour padddle. Bring your own drinks for us to pack.

SUP TO THE MARIETAS – (Approximately 3 1/2 hours)
This 6 mile excursion is for experienced paddlers only. Bring your sense of adventure for this one. It is truly amazing. It heads out the Bay of Banderas to the channel crossing in the open ocean, and it can become a bit rough. A ponga will follow along for support with food and water and transport us back. This paddle is strenuous, and challenging, but once completed will leave you filling exhilarated like never before. The Marietas are a small group of stunning uninhabited islands 6 miles southwest of Punta de Mita. They are a very popular tourist destination due to being protected from fishing and hunting by the Mexican government. Because the water is only 75-100 feet deep between islands and quite clear, the viewing of marine life is quite spectacular.
