Samantha will show you certain tips on how to teach your pup to stay on the board. During the lesson, Go Pro action shots of you and your pup are included and then posted online for you to download and share with your friends. You then have the option of getting a mini instant Polaroid photo for only $3 at the very end.Stand Up paddle boarding with your pup is not just a fun sport to do together, it will help you bond, understand each other more and it is a GREAT workout for both of you. Our lessons are designed to teach you everything you need to know about SUP’in with your Pup, so you can transition and grow a new passion with your pup.No Records Found

Could you tell us a bit about Sup Pups?
Once I started taking my dog out, I quickly realized it could be a great opportunity to share with
other dog lovers looking to get on the water. For the past 5 years, I’ve been with SUP
Connection running SUP Pups. While it’s been a great opportunity, this year I started to realign
my goals and my true passion for paddling so I decided to branch off to create SUP Pups as my
own entity. My job and first priority is to provide dog owners with support, confidence, and
proper safety measures when out adventuring with their dogs.
What about your experience with paddling?
I’ve been on the water for 26 years now. I grew up in Arizona wakeboarding Roosevelt Lake and
skiing up in Flagstaff. I’ve always been a water and dog person. When I moved to San Diego 5
years ago, I got my start as a Jet Ski tour guide. I found paddleboarding through that job and fell
in love with it.
Me and my dog did a 2-week road trip and paddled every dog-friendly lake and body of water.
We’ve paddled Lake Tahoe, Mammoth lake, and Convict lake. I also like to do paddle races and
open ocean surfing but without the poochLocation Overview:
Tell us a bit more about your business and the surrounding area?
Point Loma (my location for 5 years) is where I take people out. Now that SUP Pups is
becoming a separate entity, I'm looking at launch areas like Fiesta Island because we can set
up a day camp, as well as Kellog beach on shelter island and others. Look out for more info on
our launch locations in the future!
Do you have any signature services or paddle activities?
Videos, photos, and compilations are provided for our paddlers. I also bring a mini polaroid, so
you and your dog have a picture to share right away. Once completed you’ll also be a certified
Sup Pupper :) and lastly, Wag Bags that offer coupons and info on local things for you to do with
your dogsWhat is the best season to come check you out?
Really anytime an owner wants to learn, we’ll be ready for them.Any cool or interesting activities for dog lovers after a paddle?
San Diego is the number 1 dog-friendly city. A Lot of beach locations will allow you to bring your
dog as long as you follow the guidelines. With our program, we focus on paddle board
technique and safety measures when on the water. For those looking for additional resources,
the Bring Fido app is great to inform you about dog-friendly opportunities in your area.I also help with dog adoption. Anyone whose fostering a dog can come out for free. Take photos
of the dogs to help find them a home.Lastly, I’m almost done with the new SUP PUPs website which will be a go-to spot for dog
owners and paddlers. Stay tuned!Best places to stay?
