BSUPA accredited Instructors, will coach you through your experience on this ready to ride lesson. The lesson is aimed to teach you all the fundamentals of paddle boarding, from different paddling positions to turning, and to give you the knowledge and skills to SUP safely, as well as having a lot of fun learning new balancing skills. Water safety and general weather conditions for paddleboarding are also taught on this lesson. On the day you will be required to fill in an industry standard liability form. Other things to note In the summer months the water temperature is high enough not to use a wetsuit, but it is always recommended to contact us prior to your lesson and we can advise on appropriate clothing. "Stand up paddle boarding is more than just a sport, its a way to see and explore our natural surroundings, a tool to travel and connect with nature, a state of mind, a lifestyle. It teaches us how to respect and appreciate our natural surroundings."
