Paddle Board Rescue Training
Real Skills for Real Adventures
Sea Dog Eco Tours isn’t just about getting on the water—we’re about helping you paddle farther, smarter, and safer. Our Paddleboard Rescue Training is designed for confident adventurers who want to go beyond the basics. Whether you’re solo-paddling your favorite coastline or leading others into the wild, these essential skills can make all the difference.
Led by Sheree Lincoln in Michigan and Jodi Ziajka in Florida, this hands-on course prepares you to respond to real-life challenges on the water with confidence.
Why Paddle Boarding Rescue Training Matters
With inflatable boards so accessible, more paddlers are heading out on their own—which is awesome! But with that freedom comes responsibility. If the wind kicks up or your board drifts off, will you be ready?
Paddle Smart and Rescue Ready™.
Rescue training isn’t just for instructors—it’s for anyone who paddles, especially in remote or tidal areas. Cell signals fade, storms roll in, injuries happen. This class teaches you what to do before a situation turns serious.
Would You Know What to Do If…
✅ You or a friend get caught in high winds and can’t paddle back?
✅ Someone in your group becomes exhausted or injured miles from shore?
✅ A fellow paddler falls off their board and struggles to get back on?
✅ Cold water, heat exhaustion, or dehydration take a toll?
