We will teach you how to balance and paddle your board on flat water and hopefully progress on to riding waves. Catching and riding waves, the techniques and how to get the most out of your stand up paddle board.

SUP, as it's known among the surfing community, is a great activity, which combines all aspects of water sports from kayaking to surfing. It's a great work out and standing on a big board with a paddle cruising around on the flats or trying to catch waves is so much fun whether you are into surfing or not. It's a great way to test your balance and improve your board riding skills, not to mention the fantastic work out you get.
