Introducing SUP Cubs by SUP Pups: Private Paddle board Lessons for Kids Ages 6–17 in San Diego, CA. 

In a world filled with screens, busy schedules, and constant stimulation, one of the best gifts we can give our kids is time outside. Sunshine, fresh air, and a splash of salt water can do wonders—not just for their bodies, but for their minds and spirits, too.

That’s why we’re proud to introduce SUP Cubs by SUP Pups—a new program designed just for kids ages 6 to 17. Through private paddle board lessons on the calm waters of San Diego, SUP Cubs gives kids the chance to unplug, explore, and grow in the most joyful way possible: on a paddle board. 

 

Why Outdoor Time Matters for Kids

Spending time in nature isn't just fun—it's vital for a child's healthy development. Being outside helps kids:

  • Lower stress and anxiety levels

  • Boost creativity and problem-solving

  • Improve concentration and attention span

  • Strengthen immune systems

  • Develop a deep appreciation for nature and animals

Add water into the mix, and it’s even more powerful. The ocean becomes a place of adventure, calm, and freedom—something every child deserves to experience.

The Power of Paddle boarding for Kids

Stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) is the perfect way to help kids connect with their bodies, build confidence, and learn something new. At SUP Cubs, we tailor every private lesson to match each child's unique comfort level and skill set. Whether your child is brand new to paddle boarding or already has water confidence, SUP Cubs is a place where they can shine.
