About
Paddleboarding is ideal for anyone who wants to get out on the water. In fact, it's one of the easiest water sports to take up and you don't have to be super sporty to really enjoy it, just be able to swim to the shore if you fall off!
We offer children’s version of the Intro to paddleboards, designed for 8-12 year olds with little to no experience on a paddleboard, and those looking to gain more confidence and skills. All of this is learnt in a fun, games-based 2-hour session. Children must be able to swim.
During this course, our highly qualified instructor, certified by the Scottish Canoe Association (SCA), will guide you every step of the way. You'll gain essential skills and the confidence necessary to navigate the water with ease and grace.
Safety is our top priority, so rest assured that our experienced instructor will ensure a secure and supportive environment for all participants.
