The STAND UP PADDLEBOARD LESSONS here are designed as an accessible entry point for all ages—from curious kids to active seniors—making it an exceptional outdoor activity for families, friends, and solo explorers.
Narrabeen Lagoon's flat water is a standout feature that distinguishes it from the nearby open ocean coastline.

Within about an hour, most beginners find their footing and confidence on the board. Following the coaching session, participants enjoy up to an hour of guided independent exploration on the lagoon, soaking in sweeping views of the glassy water framed by eucalypt trees.
This program offers flexible options including private one-on-one lessons, group sessions, and public classes, accommodating up to 11 individuals per session. The instructors emphasize safety, providing thorough briefings and all necessary gear including lifejackets and the paddleboards themselves. While water, sunscreen, swimwear, and towels aren’t supplied, participants are encouraged to come prepared for a fun and invigorating experience on the water.
