A fun and safe introduction to stand up paddling, with family, friends or meeting new people who have a similar interest. You will be safe in the hands of the most highly skilled, experienced and well qualified SUP guides in Sussex. You literally can’t get paddling in Sussex like this anywhere else!

What will you get?

  • You’ll get familiarised with the equipment, ready to enjoy a fully supported session with one of our qualified instructors – a mini adventure to remember!

  • You can look forward to 2 hours of more fun than you can shake a stick at, you’ll achieve more than you expect! Paddling in a straight line, how to turn, paddling in a kneeling or sitting position, and more importantly, simple, efficient paddling so that you get the benefit of using the right muscles!

  • We provide all equipment, including wetsuits – all you need is a pair of shoes you don’t mind getting wet (not flipflops or crocs though please!) and your sense of humour!

What to Bring

  • Shoes you can get wet in - old trainers or water shoes are ideal.
  • Large Towel. Our changing rooms are boys and girls, but are communal so you may wish to bring a large towel.
  • Swimming Kit. Arrive in your swimming kit to save time.

Location

We will meet you by the White Rock Hotel, Hastings, East Sussex, TN34 1JZ

PLEASE NOTE - WEATHER DEPENDENT

Due to the changing nature of the weather (especially the breeze, which makes it harder to paddleboard) sessions may have to relocate to one of our river locations, for your safety. This may be at very short notice – we’ll try to let you know as early as we can, so we can meet you at one of our river locations.
