My daughter did this last year and is doing it again this year. She talked about this summer camp all-year-long.Sarah the woman that runs it is extremely knowledgeable in marine wildlife. My daughter saw a seahorse, a shark and all sorts of fish. Today they are going net fishing. This summer camp is so well run It's impressive. They have one adult for every five children. They make sure they put sunblock on the kids on a schedule.This is equivalent to an outdoor hands-on classroom. I highly recommend this to anybody.Please show your support for a local business.

For my daughter’s 16th birthday, I booked a sunset tour for her and her friend, which ended up being a private tour with Sarah their guide. I can’t say enough good stuff about this trip- the girls talked about it nonstop all weekend: they got to see some neat marine life thanks to the lights on the SUPs, and learned a ton of local history, science, and geography info. Both girls have said they want to do this again! From booking to communication via text the day of the trip to training before taking off and ending with their fabulous experience out on the water- this was a perfectly organized business, and a well executed SUP trip and the launch site is easily accessible with ample parking and plenty to do nearby. I honestly can’t say enough good stuff about Ebbing Tides- thanks for making my daughter’s 16th very memorable!

Not only did we enjoy stand-up paddleboarding on calm waters, we discovered the marinelife at the Lynnhaven Inlet! This public facility had parking, restrooms and showers and easy to get to from the VA Beach oceanfront. Our tour guide provided excellent instructions for beginner SUPers and was very knowledgeable of the waters we were exploring. She made extra efforts to look for animals to show us while teaching us about periwinkle snails, fiddler crabs, splitting oysters and hermit crabs. Too bad we didn't see the manatee! It was a wonderful afternoon to spend on the water.

We went on the Twilight SUP Tour last Friday. It was our first time doing SUP, but the guidance from the skilled leaders, Sarah and Aaron, made it seem uncomplicated. Sarah shared her wealth of knowledge about the ecology of the Chesapeake Bay. We were fortunate to see lots of fish, a few rays and many shorebirds. We will definitely be back!

I had a great time. The instructors are very knowledgeable about the area and soooo patient. I'm not a good swimmer and was a little freaked out but they waited until I was comfortable. I would definitely recommend this for avid adventure seekers ;)
