Our pint-sized paddleboards are built for big grins and tiny humans. While you enjoy your morning coffee dockside, we’ll be teaching your kids the ropes… or in this case, the paddles. These youth sessions are fun-forward, confidence-boosting, and designed to keep kids safely active while you catch a break. They’ll get one-on-one attention, gear that actually fits, and a chance to be the captain of their own adventure.
And yes, size matters — especially in Big Sky Country. Our bitty boards were made for this exact mission, and we’re pretty sure we’re the only crew in the region with gear this kid-focused.
Looking for a multi-day paddle camp? Just say the word. We’ll tailor something to your schedule, your kiddo, and your summer stoke level.
Fun, safe, and perfectly sized for young paddlers. This 90-minute session teaches paddleboard skills on kid-friendly boards with room to play and learn.
Kid-Size Paddleboarding Session (90 Minutes)
Let the little legends paddle it out in their own way—Montana style. This session is built for youth and smaller adults who want to learn paddleboarding with boards sized *just* right for them. Whether they’re future pros or first-timers, this lesson blends lakefront cruising with paddleboard basics, all in a safe, supportive environment. Think of it like outdoor P.E. meets summer camp—but cooler. Our instructors tailor each session to your crew’s skill level, keeping things playful while teaching real technique. We’ll cover paddling basics, turning, balance drills, and confidence boosters—plus plenty of time to just float and vibe with the pine trees. We encourage families to mix and match sessions. Got big boards? Add a kids' session. Got little paddlers? Let them level up while you lounge on a lounge-sized SUP.
