Learn to surf! - An Intro To Whitewater SUP and River Surfing Adventure
Experience the thrill of surfing a river wave and running whitewater rapids on a standup paddleboard!
At this workshop, you will learn to navigate whitewater rapids and surf river waves on a standup paddleboard at one of Pennsylvania's premiere whitewater SUP locations, Greenhouse Park, just outside of Johnstown.
This location offers a beginner-friendly wave and easy rapids that are safe and enjoyable for first-time whitewater paddlers. This workshop is a "Park and Play" experience, meaning we will be staying in one location. You can choose to surf and paddle all day, or relax and take in the spectacular scenery!
