What to expect

We will head to the Pejibaye River for your lesson. This is a super fun river to learn and increase your skills on a Stand Up Paddleboard (SUP). Current water levels will determine exact location. A section of this river was used for the whitewater kayak slalom international competition and often paddlers can paddle through the gates on the course. We like to use the first section of river to work, to learn and practice, so you become more comfortable with turns, and experience “pushy” water. You'll get to experience just the right amount of rapids, rocks and swift water while paddling below the jungle canopy. This is one of our favorite sections of rivers in all of Costa Rica because there are spots where the trees completely cover the river with vines and branches, making you feel like you are in a movie set. Please wear water shoes that can be tied or strapped to your feet and bring a reusable water bottle.
