About This Adventure

Experience the thrill of Stand Up Paddle Boarding at our Adventure Base near Mugdock Country Park. Challenge your balance and compete with friends as you navigate the waters on your paddle board. With safety gear provided and friendly instructors by your side, it’s an unforgettable aquatic adventure waiting for you!

Get on your feet for some Stand Up Paddle Boarding

Stand Up Paddle Boarding? It’s exactly what it sounds like. There’s a board, a paddle and a lot of water. The question is how long can you stay standing.

Test your balance, challenge your mates and try not to fall in!

Your session starts at our Adventure Base in Bearsden (Next to West End Outdoors). We kit you out with all the safety gear, then we hand you a paddle and point you towards your stand up paddle board and off you go.

Don't worry though, our friendly instructors are with you throughout the whole session just in case you go for a swim.
