What if I can't swim?

No worries! We offer private lessons for those who can't swim or are shy of water. We will provide you with a waist pack PFD that you will wear the entire practice yet it's compact enough to allow you to move. As trained Paddlefit coaches we have the knowledge and ability to keep you safe and having fun!

What should I wear to SUP?

Moisture wicking athletic wear or a swimsuit is best for class. Most people wear yoga clothes, many people have worn swim wear. When choosing what to wear, think about what you'd be comfortable doing downward dog in with others around :)

Sunscreen is always good, we recommend RAW elements, safe for the skin and environment!

Will I get wet?

Dress with water resistant layers, there is always potential of getting wet, however our boards sit high on the water and stay fairly dry. Will you fall in? Most likely not. If you take on the challenge of headstand you may fall in, but then you will realize how fun and refreshing it is an all fear is washed away.

Where do I keep my things?

Best to lock all valuables up in your car. There is always dock space to leave shoes and a towel. Float Ohm SUP teachers will have one large dry bag available for keys and other small items. We recommend cheap sunglasses in case they go for a swim!

Do I need a board?

All Float Ohm SUP classes, lessons, and tours include the use of a Glide SUP Lotus board, a paddle, an anchor and leash (depending on the lesson) and a personal floatation device.

What if it rains?

We love water, we practice rain or shine, but if the weather is severe or dangerous we will cancel class and you will be able to use your pass at a later date.

I’ve never paddle boarded before, can I do SUP yoga? Yes! A lot of students that come to class have never SUPed before. Every class/lesson starts with a lesson on proper SUP techniques on land before we enter the water. I’ve never done yoga before, can I do SUP yoga? Most definitely! A lot of students are new to yoga. SUP yoga is a great way to be introduced to yoga. Being on the water, makes us to slow down the practice of yoga and learn the proper balance in poses, so you won’t be left behind. All levels welcome!
