Step away from the city on a 10-minute ferry ride and enter a place of beaches, parks, niche cafes and quiet. Once island side, find Wards Beach, just outside the neighborhood on the shore of Lake Ontario.
The lesson starts with an on-land portion. We go over board anatomy, theory, paddling technique, weather and water safety. Once everyone is suited up, the small group of up to 6 people heads out into the lake with the instructor for the lesson. Your instructor goes over positioning on the board, paddling in a straight line, turning, balance and many other techniques to help your induction to the activity.
You'll have some free time at the end to paddle around on your own. Once back on shore, you'll be debriefed and sent on your way to enjoy the beach, park or lunch at one of the local cafes in the area.
