Every SUPVenture starts out with a safety orientation. ​ We will review SUP basics and safety on the water. ​ When you book your tour, please let us know if this is your first-time SUP'ing. We can spend some extra time with you before and during the tour. It is mandatory to wear your PFD, not just keep it on your board. It is mandatory to wear your leash. Each PFD comes with a whistle (OR State Law) Anyone under 18 Years old needs to wear an inherently buoyant PFD (vest). 18 and older can wear the belt PFD.

Cancellation Policy Refunds for all SUPVentures (except Escapes) will be given if: You cancel 48+ hours prior to session start Credits for all SUPVentures (except Escapes) will be given if: You cancel 47-24 hours or less prior to session start No refunds or credits will be given if you cancel less than 24 hours prior to session start. ​SUP Escape Cancellation Policy $75 Reservation Deposit: Fully refundable if canceled within 24 hours of booking. Balance Due: Full payment is required 30 Days prior to the SUP Escape start date. Refund Policy: Once the balance is paid, no refunds will be provided unless we are able to fill your spot. We will make every effort to fill canceled reservations but cannot guarantee success. Think of it like a concert ticket - once your spot is reserved and paid for, it remains yours whether or not you can attend. Unforeseen Circumstances: In cases beyond our control (forest fires, air quality issues, illness or injury etc), we will offer an alternative location or reschedule the Escape. Backup campground locations are typically booked as back up locations typically outside of "fire zones" In the event of illness or injury of the SUPVentureUs crew, the Escape will be rescheduled. Why this Policy? Significant time and expenses go into food, food prep, campsites, boards, and equipment. Last-minute cancellations impact our ability to cover costs and fill spots, especially since we may already be at the campsite with limited or no cell service. By booking, you acknowledge and agree to these terms. Thank you for your understanding and support!

In the state of Oregon, if your board is 10' or longer you are required to have a Waterway Access Permit. SUPVentureUs has these permits for our boards. If you are using your own board and it meets the requirements, it is your responsibility to purchase a permit.

When the weather is fine and the water is warm, there really is no better feeling than taking to the water in nothing but your bathing suit or board shorts, with your bare feet gripping the deck pad so you can really feel every movement the board makes as you skim over the water. Of course, this does not give you any protection from the sun, wind, or anything that could hurt your bare feet, so depending on where you’re paddling and the weather and water conditions, you’ll need to consider adding to your wardrobe. Generally, clothing that breathes and doesn't inhibit your movement is perfect for casual paddle boarding and you don't need to put too much thought into it.

Ideally, we will keep tours for groups of 8 or less, please contact us for larger groups.

We love to recruit new paddlers! There is an orientation at the beginning of every tour and if you need extra help, we are there to help you enjoy your SUPVenture!

The minimum age is 12, however, if it is a windy day, we reserve the right to have your child paddle with you on your board or reschedule. Most kids and some adults have a hard time paddling in the wind.

Yes! SupVentures are a great gift idea!

For your SUPventure , it's important to be prepared with the right items. First, be sure to bring water, especially on hot days, to stay hydrated during your SUPVenture. Remember to avoid bringing any glass containers for safety reasons. If we are going on a SUP Tour, you are welcome to bring snacks for the trip, and we may even make a stop along the shore for a picnic if you bring food (just make sure to avoid large coolers and reach out to us if you need assistance hauling the food). When it comes to footwear, it's a good idea to bring flip flops or sandals for when we get off the water, but it's recommended to paddle barefoot to ensure you can feel the board and maintain better balance. We want you to have an enjoyable and safe experience, so being mindful of these items will enhance your paddleboarding adventure with SUPVentureUs.

We will provide you with a Croakie (secures glasses). If you fall in, chances are you will lose your glasses if you don't have croakies on your glasses.

We will provide a dry bag for your phone. We accept no liability for water or damage to your phone. We will take pictures for you as part of the SUPVenture, but you are welcome to bring your own and capture your favorite moments. We aren't professional photographers, but we try to capture the happy and the fun!

Yes, however, there is an extra charge for Private or Semi-Private tours.

We will paddle in the rain!

For your safety, we will reschedule if there is a thunderstorm or heavy winds. We may not be able to make that call until we are there and see the conditions. If winds predicted 10mph or more we will reach out letting you know we need to reschedule.

If you would like a private or semi-private lesson, please contact us and we will set up a date. Private and Semi-Private Rates apply.
