We can get you started this time of year but we have to be super flexible to get the right conditions on the lake- we want to avoid the horrid winter days and the windy ones too. We have dry suits to hire ( no super sizes sorry ) for just £12 extra and these keep you completely warm , just need mits ( we have those too) and a hat and some sports clothes underneath.

We use the lake for SUP Starters till the river is serene again and Maidenhead Sailing Club Lake has showers and parking on site. We are pretty free this time of year so message us with a time and date that works. If you see it is gorgeous winters day message us to see if we are free too !

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.

Ideally don't buy a board as the size, volume and quality of the board if really important; best to try our different length and styles of boards first. We only hire boards not sell them, however we can make recommendations once we have seen you paddle and understand what type of trips you are likely to do.

Paddleboarding is more technical than you think and that is why for those wanting to advance their skills we offer different sessions so you can progress and enjoy different stretches of the Thames.

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.

For larger groups contact us so we can discuss your needs.

If you have mobility or balance issues please contact us and we can discuss your specific needs. We have experience of working with people with these challenges. If the times and dates listed don't work for you, no problem! Contact us, we have availability most days and times- lake and river.
