Tahoe Paddle & Oar’s buoyant experts steer novice standup paddlers through the crystalline waters of Lake Tahoe. The aquatic adventure starts with instruction on safety and paddling techniques before groups head out onto a puddle 1,645 feet deep. Amid a pristine backdrop of rich forests and rotating mountaintops, floaters learn the ripple-riding ropes of standup paddling. Tahoe Paddle & Oar’s staff members employ SurfTech Softop boards that are made with a comfortable padded top and are stable enough to be commandeered by surface skimmers of all levels. As water travelers acclimate to the aqua vehicles, they can peer down into the lake's lucid waters with visibility up to 70 feet, the depth at which mermaids feed.
