California Adventure: First Paddleboard Experience at Newport Beach 🌊

Went to Irvine with friends to try out paddleboarding!! It’s a great value and so much fun! 📎 There are options for $20🔪 for 1 hour or$35🔪 for 2 hours, depending on your stamina. An hour goes by pretty fast, but two hours seems easy until you realize you’ve done two hours of upper body anaerobic exercise, and the last half-hour gets a bit tough. 📎 It’s super beginner-friendly! After a short period, you can stand up and paddle without falling into the water. I was a bit worried before going, but the sea was pretty calm with not many waves. 📎 I recommend putting on some sunscreen; I got a whole level darker the next day. Wearing a hat is also a good idea because the California sun is so bright it’s hard to keep your eyes open. 📎 The best time to go is before 3 or 4 pm; it gets pretty cold later in the day. We went around noon, it was sunny but we were dressed lightly and it was perfect, not too hot, and we got amazing photos!! (The shop rents out waterproof bags, so you don’t need to bring your own.) #Irvine #CaliforniaLife #IrvineLife #CaliforniaTravel #WeekendActivities #Paddleboarding #WaterSports #LosAngelesWeekend
