Paddleboard Progression Session

Our paddleboard progression sessions are specifically taylored to paddlers who have attended one of our taster sessions and/or have prior paddling experience but now wish to travel further with confidence during their sessions. This course aims to provide an improved understanding of weather systems, tides and localised effects and their effect on paddleboarding. With a higher instructor to student ratio, paddle techniques can be further optimised during these sessions as we cover a bit more distance than in the taster sessions.

Whilst exploring areas of the River Exe you shall learn about; route planning, weather systems and localised weather effects, safety on longer journeys, more in depth tide knowledge and localised currents and longer distance paddle equipment and technique.

We will commence on a mid distance SUP loop course within the River Exe whilst covering the above topics (the exact course will be dependent on the weather and tidal state on the day as shall be explained within the course).

For all watersports - Water confidence & the ability to swim 50m unassisted.

For land based activities - ability to stand continuously and conduct moderate activity for extended periods

For Watersports Lessons - all watersports equipment and wetsuit/buoyancy aid is provided and included in your lesson cost but bring your own wetsuit if you have it as you know the fit will be perfect.
