We paddle along Lake Macatawa to spook the passersby and watch sunset from the water.

Beginner Instruction Classes

New to SUP? Although most of our tours include basic instruction, if you’d like more one-on-one, detailed instruction in a beginner environment, this class is for you! Offered on Gilligan Lake, a quiet inland lake on the south side of Holland (Laketown Township), this small group class is a perfect choice. This one-hour class is a great way to learn how to SUP in a beginner-friendly atmosphere.

Currently these classes are being scheduled by appointment only. $40 for a one hour session for one person. Or $30 per person with 2-3 people for the one-hour session.
