With very little equipment ( a board, paddle and PDF) you can be ready to take on and explore just about any waterway. Whatever you’re particular interests are..chances are you can use SUP to make it even better..versatility is a big part of the attraction!

EVERYONE needs a lesson, even if you’ve tried it before. We teach you EVERYTHING you need to know to safely paddle going forward.
EACH LESSON INCLUDES:

- SAFETY – everything you need to have on board + Ontario laws

Whatever your age, gender or previous water sport experience, you should give it a try. Our small class sizes and fantastic coach will help you get your basic paddle boarding skills, allowing you to be up and paddling in no time. So don’t think you haven’t got the spare time, patience, or have left it too late in life… it’s never too late to learn to paddle board!!

We are very happy to welcome back Maria to run our SUP courses once again this season!!Our classes are fun and suitable for everyone! Check out what people are saying!
As a non swimmer it was very nervous for me to be on the water. Our instructor was so kind and patient teaching all the things about the SUP, safety and what to do on the water. I’m so glad I took the lesson and recommend to everyone.
I did the private class with Maria and felt safe & empowered on the water. Can’t believe I waited so long to try this sport. We went over everything including weather forecasting & tons of safety information as well as paddle strokes and learning to stand. Couldn’t be happier with the lesson.
I wanted to try this for a long time. Maria made me comfortable on the water and felt safe. I love this sport will do it again!
We now have a new favourite thing to do together! A great date with my new husband and perfect day at the beach relaxing in one of the beach spots we rented.
I did the SUP lesson this week and it was amazing! Now that I’ve done the lesson I feel confident to be able to board on my own. What a great experience! The instructor was great as well! 5 star!!
First SUP class with Maria this morning who was great. Very professional and thorough. Pity we had tough conditions but such a great experience and look forward to doing it again soon.
We recently took a beginner stand up paddle board lesson with Maria. What a fun experience and Maria was an excellent coach! The waves made our beginner lesson pretty interesting but lots of fun! I would recommend BBR for anyone wanting to try this out
My sister and I tried SUP for the first time, and we’re so glad that we did, even though both of us were feeling very anxious about it. However, our instructor, Maria was awesome! Not only did she make us feel safe and secure (safety first!), but she was also very helpful and encouraging. It definitely gave us some confidence and made it a very pleasant experience for both of us as first timers. Thank you Maria/Burlington Beach Rentals! Can’t wait to try it again.
Great 1st experience. What a great way to get a workout, “Walking on water”, enjoying the scenery & keeping fit. If I can learn this at 71, just about anyone should be able to do it. I am excited about being able to participate in this activity & look forward to doing so with my children & grandchildren again this year. Thanks to Maria & Eric for their encouraging me to take my first lesson.
