Once we've got you kitted up and ready to go we'll head over to the water.

We'll start with a 10 minute paddle technique demo and safety brief and then head out onto the water and get paddling.

We will cover all of the basics of SUP, starting with paddling on your knees. We'll progress to standing and then work on forward paddle technique.

Once we've got that nailed, we'll move onto a selection of different turn techniques and explore the reservoir.

You should expect to be on the water and paddling for 90 minutes.
