After much consideration, we have decided to close Acqua Dolce Paddle. Since 2019, we have had the joy of introducing children and adults to the wonderful sport of stand up paddle boarding (SUP) through lessons, community paddles and events. We have provided a safe, fun environment to equip people with the fundamentals of safety and technique. We introduced our students to top notch equipment and educated them regarding equipment use and care. It has been a privilege to provide excellent service, education and fun experiences to our local community and visitors alike.
We want to thank all of you who have supported us through the years. Thank you to all of the super cool students from visitors, to locals and students from - you were all an absolute blast! We are so incredibly grateful for you! Special thanks to my friend Anna who got me on a board & my friend Keith who inspired me to start racing. Brody and Brent from PaddleFit who provided us with excellent instruction & mentoring to start our business. Thanks to and for making stellar equipment so we could provide the best experience for our students.
As difficult as this decision was, we are proud of what we accomplished and it is our hope that you continue to seek out high quality sources of SUP education. We’d like to recommend for outstanding online courses from the GOAT of SUP/world champion and all-around great person, Candice Appleby. We also recommend PaddleFit or USASUP to find in-person educational programs in your area.
As always, please wear your PFD and leash, be safe, have fun and hope to see you on the water! 💕✌🏼🤙🏼
