SUP Starters 2

If you cannot see a date and time that suits you, please message us on 07505 147957, we are available most days. We are out of the peak season so we are not leaving as many opening available however do ask as we offer sessions all year long. SUP Starters with Paddleboard Maidenhead is the perfect way to start your paddleboarding journey! Located in beautiful Maidenhead, Berkshire, we can provide you with an unforgettable beginners experience. We use the very quiet back waters near Boulters Lock for SUP Starters and the Jubilee River when the flow is too fast on the Thames.

2 hrs costs £50 + add on £10 for paddleboard if you don't have your own.

The ratio of instructor to new paddlers is a maximum of 1:4, this enables us to identify each person's requirements within the group. Please don't rush out and buy a board as it best to try our different length and styles of boards first. The first 15 minutes of the 2 hour session is all about your equipment, your kit and your safety before we launch. We start off sitting where you will work out how to manoeuvre the board and then graduate to kneeling then standing. We are experienced of working with people with mobility challenges, let us know if this applies you. (If you are the only one booked in on the SUP Starter then you may be offered an alternative date or time. Minimum 2 per session, maximum 4- this does not apply in the winter).

We also have dry suits and booties available for hire (no super sizes sorry ) during the cooler months. Buoyancy aids are mandatory.

You will receive an email immediately after booking. The waiver attached to the email must be signed to complete your booking. Don't forget to check your spam and junk folders.

What to wear depends on the weather on the day but check here for suggestions.

Always bring a drink and changes of clothes and a hat.
