Client Reviews

I’ve had the opportunity to take SUP lessons (1:1) with Kirsten, multiple times over the years. Within 5 minutes of the lesson, I knew I had made a wise decision. Not only is she patient, she is extremely articulate with her guidance. I want from a scared paddler to a confident one on my board. Thank you Kirsten!

Kirsten is the best! I signed up for a 1:1 lesson so she could help fix my self-taught form for an upcoming long SUP tour. Turns out she'd done that race several times! She offered so much valuable advice, both on my form and what to expect for the race. And with an amazing, positive attitude. Highly recommend Chicago SUP to learn paddleboarding.

Kiersten was a great instructor! My friend who had never done any SUP in the past, was standing up and paddling within 10 minutes of Kierstens direction.

Awesome, fun experience! Kirsten is a great instructor plus she takes tons of photos so you’ll have pictures of your SUP adventure!
