Bespoke Coached SUP Session with WHATSUP Training in Wellingborough

Duration: 3 hours (150 Minutes on the Water)

Take control of your paddling journey!

Accessible for all leaves of paddling from complete beginners to experienced paddlers. These sessions allow you to tailor your SUP learning to meet your goals, paddle ambitions, needs and interests.

This session is as customisable and bespoke as it comes; working one to one with a Level 3 PaddleUK SUP coach.

Our Bespoke Stand-Up Paddleboard (SUP) Coaching is a fully tailored session designed around you.

Whether you're a beginner wanting one-to-one support, an intermediate paddler aiming to improve technique, or you're training towards a specific goal (like a SUP Safer course or distance challenge), we build the session to suit your experience, confidence, and ambitions.

This is your chance to get personalised coaching at your pace, on your terms—focusing on the skills, knowledge, and confidence you want to develop.

From stroke refinement and board control to route planning and rescue techniques, every element of the experience is customised to your needs.
