DOGGY PADDLE

​​Paddling with a dog can be tricky. At TISUP, we are thrilled to guide you in this program to support your furry friends on the water. You will learn how to paddle with your dog, get good positioning on the board, how to retrieve them if they fall off, safety gear options and so on. Remember to bring your own dog and life preserver if necessary!
