Arizona's youth
paddleboard academy.
Federation-certified SUP coaching for kids on the Salt River + at Tempe Town Lake. ESA-eligible.
Pick the world that fits your family.
Three distinct paths under one paddleboard academy. The pillar that opens to your family is rarely the same one that opens to the family next door — pick yours and the world inside it stays scoped, not mixed.
Field Science
ESA-eligible homeschool cohorts at Saguaro Lake + on the Lower Salt. Three tracks — Wild Horse, Watershed STEM, Ecology — each laddering ½-day drop-in → full Saturday → 6-week semester.
Performance
8-week Academy Season at Tempe Town Lake — Mon–Thu coached practices ending in a podium race day. The Race Team is the elite tier above with USA SUP-sanctioned race entries.
Stewardship
The community + access side of the academy. Coach Path · ACA Certifications · Adaptive + DDD-funded cohorts · Volunteer · Sponsorship. The work of keeping the boat ramp open.
From “tell me more” to
kid on the water.
One clean path. Joshua (the founder + head coach) reads every inquiry personally and replies within 48 hours.
