Trips include introductory SUP Adventure sessions that teach essential paddling techniques over 1.5 to 2 hours, family-focused 1.5-hour Family SUP Adventure sessions with equipment and safety briefings included, kayak tours through Bristol Floating Harbour, and a seasonal SUP yoga collaboration with Trika Yoga timed for the Balloon Fiesta. Each experience emphasises small group sizes and guided instruction. Participants receive practical coaching on paddle technique and water safety from experienced guides, with activities tailored to different skill levels and family needs.
