Training locations
Depending on conditions, depth goals, and gear, sessions are held at either Lake Whatcom or Clark’s Point.
Lake Whatcom
Lake Whatcom sessions are typically held at AM/PM Beach in Sudden Valley. This calm lake site offers easy shoreline entry and access to depth, making it well suited for beginner training, skill progression, and warmer-water sessions. It’s about 25 minutes from downtown Bellingham.
Clark’s Point
Clark’s Point is a scenic saltwater site near Bellingham’s Edgemoor neighborhood, with shoreline access via a short dirt path. Sessions stay close to shore, making it a good option for ocean comfort and basic skills when conditions allow.
