What you wear paddle boarding depends on the weather conditions. If it is hot out, you can paddle board in a bathing suit. If it is cold, you may want to wear a spring suit or full wetsuit. Avoid wearing cotton as it takes longer to dry. Bring a towel for afterwards.

What about rain, lighting and other weather conditions?
We are located in Colorado so weather blows in pretty past. If the rain is really coming down, lighting and high winds are persistent; we will reschedule or refund your lesson. If in doubt, call first. Safety always comes first!
