Learn to Paddleboard




Ready to SUP with us?



Our instructors will take you through all aspects of paddleboarding to ensure you are safe and capable on the water, in accordance with our policy which you can read here.


We have a variety of sessions, instructors and all the equipment for you to get started on SUP, or to improve your existing skills.

Start with a WOW course to get a feel for this fabulous way to get fit, be social (at a distance) and get on the water.  Build up for a more in depth course and start paddling with a buddy.


As part for Drowning Prevention Week, one of our members (Denyse Lane) produced this very useful safety poster for all those who SUP which you can download here.
