Standup Paddle Boarding (SUP) Courses

Whether its your first time on a board or already a keen SUP'er we offer training in a friendly club environment. We are a WSA (Water Skills Academy) accredited SUP school, with qualified instructors running courses for all abilities.

Social SUP & Windsurf - Friday nights late April to mid-September where likeminded windsurfers and SUP'ers meet from 6pm to chat and get out on the water, hopefully finishing off in the bar.
