About
Paddleboarding is a relatively new surfing phenomenon that adds a whole new dimension to riding waves and exploring our stunning coastline. It’s a fun, low impact, ‘all-body’ workout, making it a great activity for fitness as well as fun!
This hugely popular activity is the fastest growing water sport in the world, and also a lot easier than you might think! After a couple of tries, most people can stand up and balance just fine – but if you’re a little unsteady on your feet, you can have just as much fun doing it on your knees!
Lessons are available for individuals or groups. If you bring a few friends with you and have a minimum of 5 people, we can offer a private group lesson, just for you guys!
We cover everything from beginner’s coaching right through to intermediate and advanced coaching.
