Fun for all the Family!

Description

Learn the basics of Stand Up Paddleboarding on our family friendly 1hr SUP Taster. This session is designed for ages 8+ to give a first experience to SUP without overstretching younger peoples attention or energy levels.


During the on-land briefing we'll cover how to hold and use your equipment,

then move to the water where we will learn about safety, then on-water basic controls such as launching and moving forwards, back and turning before progressing to standing up. After a short practice paddle to gain confidence and balance its time to return to base and practice the most important part of learning to SUP - Self Rescue!


If you are an adult that has already tried Paddleboarding and know that you enjoy it or are interested in buying a board and paddling frequently in the future, we would recommend that you book onto one of our 2 hour group or 90 minute private sessions instead. This extra time will give you more comprehensive tuition and advice on boards, equipment and safety, plus a much longer practice paddle to help you become a safe, independent paddler faster with a better return on your investment.
