What To Expect
Play Fair Paddleboarding Lessons, Rentals & Tours
Experience beginner‑friendly watersports on beautiful Lake Hartwell with an experienced insured instructor. I teach stand‑up paddleboarding, modern inflatable windsurfing, and wing (no foil) using stable, safe, lightweight gear that’s perfect for first‑timers.
Expect clear instruction, calm pacing, and a focus on safety and confidence. All sessions include properly fitted USCG‑approved life jackets and equipment sized for kids, teens, and adults.
You’ll learn the basics on protected water with easy launches, simple techniques, and steady support the entire time. Great for families, homeschoolers, college groups, and anyone wanting a fun, low‑pressure lake adventure.
Sessions launch from Fair Play Recreation Area with easy parking, shade, and smooth water access.
Fish Island is a great desination for a day rental. Pack your lunch for the inslutaed deck bag, bring beach stuff in your dry bag...take pictures safely with the floating phone cases...mesh deck bags too for sunscreen and such!
We also offer paddle picnics, mommy and me classes for an adult and infant/child, pups are welcome with PFD just for dogs!
