Read MoreI had been wanting to do SUP as a recreational sport for several years, and finally, during pandemic, I set some time aside to experience it through StandUp in Amador. First of all the location is very convenient when driving from anywhere in the city and the drive on the causeway is always pleasant. I booked a class for a friend and myself, Arturo was our instructor, super friendly, knowledgable and experienced in the sport and he was really thorough in explaining everything a beginner needs: safety, body position, paddling dynamics--- it was also interesting to learn about the different types of boards that are on the market... materials, how much they weigh, etc.
Once you get in the water and begin paddling, you immediately feel very balanced- the student boards are wide and solid... super safe for a first time paddler of any age.
Arturo is next to you at all times as he gives pointers, tips and suggests adjustments for proper stance, balancing and paddle positioning. He also points out the different routes and limits to be respected once you are out on the waterway. Experience Beautiful views of the Bridge of the Americas, the many Islands that are close to mainland, the cityscape and the ships waiting to cross the canal.
The class and the experience were wonderful, and both my friend and I ended up returning for a follow up fun paddle. I personally plan to continue using this SUP operator for their great services, convenience and location. Read Less - 3/23/2021

Read MoreIt was my first time trying SUP and I took a beginner class with my cousin and my nieces. Very happy with Arturo, our instructor. His English was great, he did a thorough explanation on safety and technique, very patient with my nieces and he was just very nice and helpful overal. We had a great time so hopefully we will come back sooner than later. Highly recommended! Read Less - 11/24/2020

Instructions were very clear and extremely helpful at the time of getting to actually do paddle boarding. My sister and I had a blast. We enjoyed the experience so much I returned the next day to do more and would gladly participate on a regular basis.
Cost are more than reasonable and location is just perfect. Within 20-30 mins from Panama City Read Less - 2/14/2020
