At Portland Paddle we believe that you can do a lot on a stand up paddle board - stand up, sit down, paddle around, strike a yoga pose, and get a full body workout while floating on the water!

Join us weekly on Wednesday evenings for the rest of August for 90 minutes of SUP Fitness taught by a certified personal trainer. This unique class combines elements of pilates and barre with the beautiful benefit of floating on the water. Come try it out!

Sign up is available on our website.

We asked them to show off their new towels from and look at how cute they are! We love to see smiles on our guides faces!

Thanks for sharing your beautiful towels with us so we can keep dry when we're off the water. We love that they are made from carefully-sourced natural fibers and inspired by Maine's natural landscape đź’–

New to sea kayaking and want to learn how to use a compass and chart? Need to brush up on your navigation skills ? We have space left on our Sea Kayak Navigation Skills Weekend Workshop this Saturday and Sunday!

Learn to use a chart and compass to find your way in the fog, plot a course for an expedition, identify your position using dead reckoning — and much more. We focus on managing challenging conditions typical of Maine waters, including strong winds, swift currents, and fog.
