  • Description

    Learn to stand up paddle board on Southport's Victorian Marine Lake, or improve your SUP skills and refine your technique.


    We will get you standing and paddling with confidence, or tail turning if that's your aim. Using the very best in inflatable SUP boards and carbon paddles (board, paddle and leash provided), and sharing our teaching experience and eight years of passion for the sport.


    A group lesson is suitable for you if you have good mobility and a general level of fitness. If you feel you will need additional time and help due to fitness, any mobility issue or condition please book a One to One Lesson where there will be no pressure to keep up with other paddlers. If unsure please contact us to discuss before booking.


    Our maximum group size is 4. Minimum age for children is 14 - under-18s must be accompanied on the lesson by a parent or guardian.


    If you would like an intermediate or progression session instead of joining a beginner lesson -


    1. individuals please book a one to one here
    2. groups of 2 or 3 please contact us via email on supnorthuk@gmail.com after booking to advise if you have all had a beginner lesson and would like a progression lesson. (only applicable if there are no prior bookings from others on the same group lesson)








    Requirements

    Children must be 14 or over and parent or guardian need to take part in lesson


    Participants must disclose level of water confidence on medical questionnaire.


    Please inform us of any medical conditions or requirements via the disclaimer form & questionnaire.


    Please read the clothing requirements and ensure suitable clothing and enclosed shoes are worn by all taking part.








    What to bring

    It's not necessary to wear a wetsuit but you certainly can if you have one - and it may make you feel more willing to try the trickier techniques. If it's warm wear a rash vest or similar too so that you can zip your wetsuit down to avoid getting too hot. Otherwise, lightweight sportswear is ideal, or board shorts and rash vest (no cotton or denim that could get water-logged!). Please wear enclosed shoes - wetsuit boots or aqua shoes are ideal, otherwise old trainers that you don't mind getting wet. Falling in isn't compulsory, although we can't promise of course, so please bring a change of clothes and a towel! If you want to try the more tricky techniques getting wet is more likely, and you will get wet to the knees as we start off paddling on our knees.


    Please bring any medication or inhaler if required, sun screen and drink when sunny or warm.








    Itinerary
    1. Equipment, safety and basic techniques will be covered on land in around 30 mins

I had a great Wing Foil lesson with Alan at Southport marine lake, using my own equipment but with a headset that is a great teaching aid. Very professional and enjoyable. I will be booking another soon.
