Team-Building SUP Session

This is the perfect package for larger groups who want that extra splash of fun! With your work colleagues, friends or hens & stags, you will learn SUP skills and enjoy team-building challenges paddling along the river and out onto the lake. Work together and dive in to our paddle games – expect to get wet, laugh a LOT and come back to shore wanting to do it all again!

1. On-the-day bookings are not available for our team-building sessions. Please book your slot at least 48hrs in advance here on our website to ensure Instructor availability.
2. This package is for 4 - 16 participants.
3. Groups of 10 or more receive a discount of £5 per person
4. For groups of 16 and above, please email us at admin@paddleboardthelakes.co.uk so that we can arrange a full team day and bespoke package for your group.

Participants must be able to swim at least 50 metres. Here at The Paddle Hut, we will always give a safety and basic skills briefing to ensure you feel confident and safe before heading out on the water.

You will need to plan for all weathers and ultimately expect to get wet!

You may or may not fall into the water, but it is always better to be prepared.

Always bring a towel and a spare set of dry clothes and shoes. If you have your own wetsuit then you are welcome to bring it (particularly in the cooler months when the water temperature is a lot lower), or wear clothes suitable for being on the water, i.e., swimsuit, shorts, t-shirt, leggings, gym wear, waterproof, wind-shell jacket, etc. (Avoid denim, thick hoodies or jogging bottoms that will get heavy when wet.)

We have a small range of wetsuits available to hire at £5pp that you can add on to your booking, but please be aware they are subject to availability and exact sizes cannot be guaranteed on our busier days. Please always bring other suitable clothing to wear as a back-up option and we can refund your £5 on arrival.

If you are happy and warm enough in bare feet then that is absolutely fine, but footwear, such as swim shoes, crocs or old trainers, can be useful as our launch slipway and river/lake shores are quite rocky underfoot.

Additional items you may like to bring depending on the weather:

1. warm hats
2. extra layer
3. hard shell waterproof to shield from wind/rain
4. sun cap
5. sun cream
6. bottled water
7. neoprene booties/gloves
8. other items may also be required, although please note items such as sunglasses may be lost if you fall in the water!

Your valuables, such as car keys and phone, will obviously need to be protected, so a waterproof bag/phone case is good to bring along. If you do not have a bag then we will happily look after your items, but all valuables whether kept on land or on board are done so at your own risk.

Participants will start their session on land with a safety briefing and introduction demonstrating basic paddleboarding skills.

When everyone is comfortable and ready to go, we will carry our boards and slowly walk into the shallow water. Here we will kneel onto our boards and practice paddling while kneeling before heading further out along the river to try standing up.

We will paddle out onto the lake introducing more tips & tricks along the way, and work together in challenges and games so that everyone comes back with a smile on their face!
