My daughter (15) and I decided to try SUP for the first time during a recent visit to California and took a lesson from Nancy in Dana Point harbor. We both had such an amazing time. Nancy is a terrific instructor and she made the entire experience so enjoyable. She even spent the extra time to introduce the sport to... More

After years of walking the Dana point harbor and watching the number of SUP's increase each year, I finally decided to give it a try. I took a lesson with Nancy who was not only a great and patient instructor (I am 65 and not in the best of shape) but she was so personable I felt like I was... More

A friend and I decided to try SUP, and I booked with Nancy by phone. You can pay in person or online (a quick, smooth process). I am not known for my balance and it took a little bit of time to get my "sea legs", but thanks to Nancy's expert coaching I was able to stand up the entire... More

My wife and I took a lesson from Nancy and had a great time. It's no wonder why Stand Up Paddling is such a fast growing activity. Anyone from 9 up can do it with about 10-15 minutes of instruction. The boards are very stable and you can paddle as hard or as slowly as you like. Nancy's instruction was... More

Dana Point Harbor is perfect because it has both the protected area for first timers like us and the ability to go out onto the ocean for the more advanced. Nancy and Alex were our instructors and...

we did it twice - was fairly easy to get the hang of it - recommend. the team who worked there were friendly and helpful.

Two couples, all over 50, had a great time with Nancy, who is a wonderful and personable instructor. Even falling in was not a big deal -- yes some of us fell in, some more than once -- haha. It was all good fun and likely to be habit forming.

My husband and I had so much fun paddle boarding with Nancy!! When I mentioned that I was four-months pregnant and that we were staying in Dana Point, she recommended we go paddle boarding at the Dana Point Harbor as the water is very calm (no waves). We had so much fun there. Nancy is a wonderful instructor and we... More
