Valid ID required to sign up for demo. Support/ donations: The purpose of the clinics is to help newcomers choose the right equipment and to teach the basics. SUP is too much fun not to share the stoke and we want to continue offering free clinics, but in order for us to be able to continue to offer these clinics, we depend on making sales as a result. If you have no intentions of purchasing equipment from our store, please rent a board from us instead or at least consider making a donation to help offset the high cost of equipment and employees. A minimum $5 donation per person is suggested and we will give a free instructional DVD or other gift to anyone donating $10 or more. We also ask you to please support the businesses that make these clinics possible. We will usually make a special offer available to clinic participants that are interested in buying equipment and this offer is usually only good for the day of the clinic.
