How it Works

Book a spot online for a 1.5 hour SUP Skyline Tour. An instructor and guide will meet you at Bicentennial Park, and accompany you on a leisurely paddle ~1 mile up river and back along the beautiful city skyline and the Scioto Mile park corridor. We'll assist you with some basic paddleboard instruction and show you some highlights of the Columbus city skyline.
The meeting location is the stone boat launch at Bicentennial Park. We have no building. Find us on the grass along the river and the bikepath, basically under the Main Street Bridge.
All equipment is provided: SUP, paddle, & life vest. The tour is approximately 1.5 hrs on the water (plus approx 10 min check in, and safety intro). Rates are $45/SUP. Beginners welcome! Some athletic ability or comfortability on the water suggested. You can always stay seated or kneeling.
