About This Deal
Ancient porpoise fossils indicate that prehistoric humans used these creatures as kiteboards, though their methods of training bats to act as kites are lost to the ages. Sail high without mammalian aid with this Groupon.
Choose from Three Options
- $15 for a one-hour standup-paddleboard rental (a $35 value)
- $22 for a one-hour standup-paddleboard rental and lesson (a $45 value)
- $29 for a one-hour, beach-based Try-N-Fly introductory kite-flying lesson (a $75 value)
Ocean-goers may rent a standup paddleboard for a one-hour, limb-driven skim, speedily skipping or lazily trawling as they see fit, or learn basic paddleboarding techniques with an instructive lesson. Alternatively, during 60-minute Try-N-Fly lessons, first-timers grasp the reins of a training kite from dry land where they practice directing and dealing with the kite's swoops and swerves as they learn to sail the skies.
