Come and develop your personal paddling, balance, rescue skills, water confidence and meet other paddleboard enthusiasts in our SUP Skills Club.

Perfect for all ages and abilities, just bring your board and paddling kit and let us guide you to becoming the best SUPper you can be.

Don't have your own board, but still want to come along and develop your skills?

Select Board & kit hire in the options menu and we'll have it pumped up ready for you with all the other safety equipment as well. We can provide everything you need for the session including wetsuits and a dry box to keep your phone, keys or other valuable items safe on the water.

This Club is learner focused, flexible in structure with long term progression in mind. Meaning you can come along for one session to get some handy hints and tips, or book a few Club sessions and develop your paddling under the experienced eyes of our coaches and instructors.
