SUP Starters with Paddleboard Maidenhead is the perfect way to start your paddleboarding journey! Nestled in the picturesque landscapes of Maidenhead, Berkshire, we take you on a journey of learning in the tranquil backwaters near Boulters Lock or the Jubilee River when the Thames flow is too brisk.

We can provide you with an unforgettable beginners experience. This 2-hour session costs £50 and if you don't own a paddleboard, you can rent one from us for an additional £10. With a 1:4 instructor to novice paddler ratio, we ensure personalised attention to everyone in our group according to their individual needs.

Please, don't rush to buy a paddleboard before your session. We encourage trying out different sizes and styles of boards we offer to see what suits you best. The first 15 minutes are dedicated to understanding your equipment, learning about necessary kit, and emphasising your safety before we set out on the waters.

Starting with a seated position, we will guide you on manoeuvring the board, gradually transitioning to kneeling, and finally standing on the paddleboard. If you face any mobility challenges, don't hesitate to inform us so we can make the necessary provisions.

In colder months, we offer dry suits and booties for hire to keep you comfortable. Remember, buoyancy aids are mandatory for all participants. Whether you're trying something new or looking to conquer your fears, Paddleboard Maidenhead ensures a fun and safe learning journey into the world of paddleboarding.
