Mini & Me Workshop

1h 15 min | A padding adventure with your little one!

Have you found yourself itching to pop out for a paddle on a beautiful day with your little one in tow, but don't know where to start?

On Pause for Summer 2026.

Launch with your little one!

It can feel daunting to figure out the logistics around paddle boarding with your little one AND get your kiddo excited about it for the first time.

Which is exactly why we've created a workshop to get both of you ready to dive into paddle boarding together!

This experience starts with on-land instruction, including games to get the kiddos familiar with the paddle board. From there, we'll get set to launch (guardian and passenger), and hit the water for a bit of paddling, balance activities and a sweet co-meditation.

This workshop is designed for an adult/child pair. Children aged 3-6 years old are welcome!

Adult must be a parent/guardian or have a guardian permission letter (e.g. other childcare providers).

Prior paddle boarding experience is recommended but not required! Please note that there is no on-site restroom and you must provide your own USCG-approved live vest for your little.
