While the Sea Dog Eco Tours chapter, in Fort Myers Beach, has closed (after a great 7 year run including 4 hurricanes) the mission continues. Sheree Lincoln still offers 1- to 3-day World Paddle Association (WPA) Instructor Certification Classes in Michigan, Florida, and beyond. Want to host a class in your area? She is available to travel to your location, with lodging options and scheduling considered on a case-by-case basis—let’s explore the possibilities together!

Paddle Boarding ADVENTURES

Sea Dog Eco Tours

Sea Dog Eco Tours had an incredible run—7 years sharing unforgettable paddle boarding adventures, weathering four hurricanes, and building a beautiful community along the way.

If you’re looking for private paddle boarding tours in Florida, I’m proud to recommend my friend Jodi, who continues offering custom adventures in Naples, Florida. You can reach her through her website: www.BuddhaVoodoo.com
