Surf Reston is dedicated to helping people enjoy stand-up paddleboarding, the fastest growing paddle sport on calm, flat water, with attention to safety, fitness and the environment.
Our paddle board SUP sessions are guided by certified instructors on calm, flat water – the perfect place to get started and build your skills for more challenging waterways.
We work in partnership with Reston Association who owns and manages the lakes in Reston and we support a variety of community activities and events.
Join us for weekly sessions held primarily on Thursday evenings during the RCC Take a Break Concert Series and Weekends at Lake Anne. We also paddle at Lake Audubon, Lake Newport and Lake Thoreau periodically.
Special requests for dates and times are available. SUP Yoga, Parties/Corporate Teambuilding, Intermediate/Advanced, Whitewater, and race training are additional offerings!

Join us for a 1.5 – 2 hour SUP session and learn the basic skills necessary to enjoy SUP safely and efficiently. Learn about equipment, and safety, and technique on dry land before heading out to the water to practice paddling and have some fun! After your first session with us you will qualify to come back as a “Return Paddler” with a discounted rate and you can get right on the water with the option of skipping the dryland. Of course our certified instructors are always on the water to give you coaching if you want it and take photos!
Don’t be intimidated – all levels welcome – discover a new perspective on balance and fitness while enjoying nature! If you’re looking for a new challenge, yoga on a stand up paddleboard will reinvigorate you and push you to become an even better yogi than you thought possible — all while enjoying the natural splendor of floating on water.

Fun Team Building
"My daughter had a great time! Her and her team mates did this as a team building event. The process was great, easy to register, they communicated well and they were easy and flexible to work with our big group."

Fantastic experience all around
We used Surf Reston for our daughter's 11th and 12th birthday parties. The kids had an absolute blast on the water. Patrick and Eric (Surf Reston staff) taught the kids how to use the paddleboards correctly and then demonstrated all the fun activities that can be done stacking paddleboards, using the monster board, and getting wet! Parents were out on the water as well and there were big smiles all around.
