Most of ISTMOS week-long retreats include an Introductory SUP lesson at our local Playa Grande Beach.   This 2 hour long introductory class taught by owner, Sean Davis, is great for first-timers and beginners at SUP.

The class includes 45 minutes of guided practice stressing safety aspects and SUP techniques followed by 1 hr. and 15 minutes of supervised practice time.

The following are some of the additional SUP and Surf options we can include in your retreat package.  If will be participating in an upcoming retreat, let the retreat leader know if you are interested in one of these option.
