Avon Valley Beginners SUP Lesson

Under 18's must be accompanied by an adult on the water

We offer our 'Award-Winning' 2-hour "Ready to Ride" lessons at our location on the River Avon, specifically at the Avon Valley Farm, where we benefit from calm, protected waters and minimal river traffic.

During this 2-hour lesson, you will learn about paddleboards and paddles. You will progress from kneeling on the board to standing up, practice paddle strokes, learn turns and tricks, engage in a few games, and, if time permits, try out a SUP rescue technique!

We provide boards, paddles, leashes, and buoyancy aids as standard equipment.

Wetsuits are available for hire at £5 each, but please pre-book this option during your payment to avoid disappointment on the day.

Each lesson will have one instructor for a maximum of six clients.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us for more information about booking, our offerings, and our facilities.

We can't promise you won't get wet!

There is a 6% booking fee added on top during checkout through the Eola.co Booking System. Should you request a full refund for unforeseen circumstances, the booking fee is non refundable .

Customer Notice: You will be on the River Avon (between Bath and Bristol), which is home to various wildlife up and down the river. Like any other open-water source, please do your best not to ingest the water as there is a small risk that you could catch something as the river is accessed by the local wildlife. Should you feel ill after the session, please let us know asap so we can keep track of your progress. Should it worsen, please see your local GP and let them know you have been playing in the river so they can perform the correct medical checks.
