No lectures. Just balance, grit and serious good vibes.

SG Youth Paddle Academy

We are SYPA - a new wave of coaches, creators, and calm-water rebels building the next generation of paddlers.

Whether you are 7 or 17, never-touched-a-board or ready-to-race, we've got a spot for you.

Our mission? To make stand up paddling fun, empowering, and actually cool - not just another CCA or weekend chore.

Our certified instructors know how to teach and hype you up. Our youth programs are built to grow with you - from beginner to comp- level, solo to squad.

This isn't just a sport. It's your launch pad.

Balance. Strength. Focus.

Let the water shape you.

What Parents Should Know

Safety is #1

All our instructors are ISA-certified (International Surfing Association) and trained in water safety.
We run small class sizes, always use life vests, and only paddle in beginner-friendly waters at Sentosa and East Coast Park Beach.

Rain? Reschedule.

Singapore weather is wild — we get it.
If conditions aren’t safe, we’ll reschedule your session for free. Safety over everything.

We Build More Than Skills

Sure, your kid will learn to paddle. But they’ll also walk away with:

Confidence
Balance (physical + mental)
Water awareness
Friends from all walks of life
A sense of calm and capability that sticks

Certified to Coach. Trained to Care

Instructor Training & Certification

All our coaches are officially certified by the International Surfing Association (ISA) — the global gold standard for stand up paddling instruction and the world governing body for stand up paddling as recognised by the International Olympic Council. That means every session is backed by international training protocols, safety know-how, and a whole lot of passion for the sport.

We’re also proudly affiliated with the Surfing Association Singapore (SAS) — the national governing body for surfing and SUP in Singapore, recognized by SportSG. Through them, we align with the national coaching framework and contribute to the long-term development of paddling in the region.
