Private SUP Beginner Lessons, UK

This is a private 90 minute stand up paddle boarding beginner lesson with a qualified and fully insured ASI SUP instructor. We’ll teach you everything needed to be up and paddling safely in no time. The majority of your time will be spent on the water after completing a short land demonstration. In this SUP beginner lesson we’ll cover everything from familiarising ourselves with all the kit, how to handle our board and paddle, where to position ourselves on the board, how to hold the paddle for maximum impact on the water and how to enter and exit the water safely. We’ll practice the basic techniques to get from knee paddling to standing up, how to self rescue, tips for adjusting our position while on the water, basic turns and falling off safely - there’s nothing quite like falling in the water with style!

We’ll go through the basics for checking the weather and water conditions and understanding how these impact your paddling. We’ll advise you about assessing if the conditions are suitable for you to enjoy a safe SUP adventure - particularly important if you plan on investing in your own board or hiring kit for self guided SUP trips and adventures.
