We are proud to say we were one of the first and only providers of white water stand up paddleboarding in the UK back in 2010. We offer introductory lessons aimed at those who would like to transfer their flat water paddling skills to the river. After kitting up and safety briefing you will head onto the water beginning with still/slow moving water steadily progressing to faster moving waters including features such as rapids and wave trains throughout the session. We begin on our knees and as you develop skills and gain confidence you can try your hand at standing!
We run group sessions for those who want to conquer the white water together with their comrades perhaps for a stag, hen do or family weekend.
