Paddle Scotland - SUP Safer

The Paddle Scotland SUP Safer course is designed for anyone new or with some experience to stand up paddleboarding who wants to gain more knowledge and raise your awareness of your personal safety.

The 4-hour programme is delivered at our loch where we will explore and learn to appreciate the potential hazards you might encounter and to help you be prepared to avoid or deal with them. The main focus of the course is to help you to consider where you paddle, the equipment you use and to provide practical solutions if they get into difficulty.

There are no age restrictions for this SUP Safer course. Our equipment is available on the day but if you have your own please take it as it is much more valuable to practice with what you will use when you are out on the water.

The course fee includes your certification fee.
