The Skills Course Trio is what you think it is: all three paddle board courses lumped into one easy booking.

If you know you want to take all three courses in 2025, this is the option to click. We will work together to discuss dates and times that work best for everyone’s schedules. Booking all three courses together as a package ensures plenty of time for skill practice, thorough feedback, and more opportunity to learn different techniques. We can arrange the skills we learn in a way that makes sense for the group and the individuals throughout the entirety of the three courses.

We may utilize the existing dates of any or all of the single paddle board courses, or we will create our own; this will entirely depend on demand.
