Our kids LOVE Dogpatch Paddle! We have put them in summer camp there for the past 2 years. I still get goose bumps picking them up from camp knowing they get to stand up paddle board on the Bay in such a beautiful setting. The counselors are great as well. Such a gem in the city!!!!

Great place! Convenient location for ease of access into the water. They have any and all paddle boards, kayaks and SUP yoga boards. The routes and water current were well explained and everything was provided. 10/10 would recommend!

My son just completed a week at Dogpatch Paddle camp. He was a little nervous on his first day but his camp councilor Rachael really put him at ease and he had a great time. Thoroughly recommend this camp to anyone as long as they have reasonable swimming skills.

This is one of our favorite summer camps. It is a really fun week, starting with lessons for beginners and then some exciting excursions. The counselors are really amazing. Jessica (12), Ava (11)

Great place! Bought two kayaks there. The owner Adam has created a welcoming community out of his shop and at Crane Park.

My 11yo had an amazing time at the intermediate SUP camp. The counselors were all wonderful and supported the campers through some impressive exploration of the Bay.

Excellent Coaching by Mia! We came as a group of 4, with 2 of us as complete beginners. Mia was extremely helpful and we both picked it up quickly with her guidance. We all had a great time on the bay and Mia was also able to take photos for us which was a huge plus (I definitely would have dropped my phone).

I’d been wanting to give Stand Up Paddleboarding a try for a few years. The opening of Crane Cove Park with its sheltered bay access heightened my interest. After watching me stare longingly at all the paddlers on our frequent visits to the park, my thoughtful husband gifted me a SUP for Christmas. Despite my enthusiasm, I was a bit nervous about getting out on the water; I had no idea what I was doing, no SUP-owning friends to go out with, and I hate trying new things in front of a crowd . Enter Adam Zolot and the Dogpatch Paddle Clubs private group lessons. The fact that the club offers the option to rent a board as part of the lesson made it easy for me to recruit friends to try it with. Adam was incredibly responsive and accommodating in our communication about arranging the lesson. He had the rental boards set up on the beach and waiting for my friends on arrival. He covered the basics with us on dry land, but made sure to get us out on the water quickly to maximize our time on the boards. He was diligent about checking in with each of us to make sure we were comfortable, and his tips and pointers on technique were delivered gently and constructively. Adam is an easy-going presence who immediately felt like one of our group. He had plenty of advice and knowledge to share about how to read the wind, water, tides and currents, as well as where it is safe to paddle. He peppered the conversation with tales of his own adventures on the water. I felt completely safe and comfortable throughout. It is clear that Adam has a passion not only for the sport, but for community building and Dogpatch Paddle Club is succeeding at just that. I’ve even signed my 11YO for the Club’s summer camp!

Excellent coaching. As a beginner, I found the overview before getting in the water very informative and extremely helpful when I was on the paddle board. On the water, even though it was a group class I personally found the individualized coaching on board Positioning and paddle technique very good. Thank you

We went kayaking all the way to oracle park and loved every minute of it. Can’t wait to be back!
