California’s only certified dog-and-owner stand-up paddleboard school, SUP Pups in Point Loma launches private lessons from the Laning Road waterfront behind the Courtyard Marriott. Certified SUP instructors teach paddle technique, board stability, and canine introduction protocols on the calm channel, using equipment supplied by West Coast Paddle Board Rentals at the same launch site. Each one-hour session includes GoPro action photography and video delivered after the lesson, documenting the progression from dry-land board introduction through open-water paddling with the dog aboard. Breed-specific meetups, adoption-fundraiser paddles, and dog-birthday party bookings extend the program beyond individual lessons, building a community calendar that overlaps with the recreational paddling scene at Yacht Club SUP. The most advanced clients graduate to the SUP Training Club, where multi-dog board transfers, race-technique footwork, and open-water distance paddling push both handler and animal past the introductory skill set.
