Private SUP Instruction Tailored to Your Goals

Private SUP Coaching

Dedicated SUP Coaching — Customized Instruction for Your Specific Goals

This isn't a tour disguised as a lesson. Private SUP instruction means dedicated, focused coaching designed entirely around your learning objectives. Whether you're stepping on a board for the first time or refining advanced river techniques, our instructors create custom lesson plans that accelerate your progression and build genuine skill.

Choose your venue based on your goals:

Slide Lake: for flatwater fundamentals, balance work, and touring technique.

Snake River: for reading current, eddy turns, ferrying, and wave surfing.

We meet you where you are and take you where you want to go. Half-day sessions provide concentrated skill-building; full-day instruction allows deeper progression with more practice and refinement time. Every session is completely customized—your instructor's entire focus is on your development, not entertaining a mixed-ability group.

How Private Instruction Works

Pre-Session Consultation -

Before your lesson, discuss your goals, experience level, and what you want to accomplish.

Individualized Attention -

Your instructor focuses entirely on you (or your small group). Immediate feedback, targeted drills, and personalized coaching accelerate learning.

Flexible Pacing -

Progress at your own speed. Spend extra time on skills that challenge you; move quickly through areas where you're confident.

Video Analysis (Optional) -

For technique refinement, we can record video for analysis and feedback.

Progression Planning -

End each session with clear next steps and practice recommendations for continued improvement.
