If you enjoy making new friends whilst learning new skills, this is the choice for you!

About

Small and friendly group size, with a minimum of three and a maximum of eight, plus an experienced, qualified, local instructor.

We start with an overview of the equipment and cover the basic concepts and a safety briefing whilst on dry land.

We then head out on to a beautiful stretch of the River Thames from our private pontoon. The river here is non-tidal which makes it less challenging and gives you the opportunity to focus on learning and having fun. It is also pretty quiet so you won't be performing for an audience!

You'll learn how to control your board whilst kneeling, before progressing to the standing position when you are ready - the exciting bit!

There is no pressure and the aim is to help you enjoy the learning process rather than ticking off a 'must do' list.

We will also get the chance to explore the river and enjoy some islands, bridges and local wildlife.

Learn and explore at the same time, as we paddle along a lovely stretch of the non-tidal River Thames taking in islands, bridges and wildlife.

More information

We provide all the equipment including a high-quality paddleboard, paddle, safety leash, bouyancy aid plus a waterproof phone case and straps for your glasses.

We do not provide wetsuits and recomend dressing for the weather with layered clothing - quick drying sportswear is ideal. Avoid cotton, particuarly denim jeans as they tend to get heavy and cold when wet. Do bring a change of clothes, just in case..

There are free lockers and a loo onsite. A free public car park is a short walk away, and you are welcome to leave your bike in our secure garden if cycling.
