  my kids age 13 and 11 did a camp with Black Dog this summer. they thoroughly enjoyed it. The instructors were so positive, and really taught them a lot in 4 days. They came home each day really looking forward to the next. Black Dog is organized, has good equipment and provides great instructors. It is a great way for those who live in and around Richmond to discover the James River, and for tourists to sampke more of the real Richmond. This is a great sport and a safe and fun way to get exposed to it. try it out!

  I took a SUP class through another company in Richmond several years ago, but we didn’t learn any more than the basics. At Black Dog Paddle, they teach you everything from how to fall, to how to navigate around obstacles. They let you try out several boards and also give you lots of ideas and advice if you ever plan to buy your own board or rent one on vacation.

  If you have the least bit of interest in doing SUP, these folks do it right. You spend three full hours on the river and we had 3 instructors for about a dozen folks (and the class was sold out) so you get a lot of instruction and support the whole time. They are very laid back in that you're not pressured to learn too quickly and they balance telling you what you need to know with giving you the space to get comfortable and try out the different moves on your own. They also have you switch boards (after everyone is comfortable on them) at least twice so that you can experience what different types of boards are like. They worked hard to make the experience a very fun, very supportive, AND very educational three hours. I certainly got more than my money's worth. (This review is for the 3 hour basic SUP class held at Robious Landing Park).
