Welcome to DPB (Dittons Paddle Boarding), bringing you SUP (Stand Up Paddleboard) Training.

This is a Taster Session to give people new to the sport of Paddle Boarding a try out of paddling on a board and hopefully standing up. You will be given safety instructions and river knowledge. The equipment and how to use it will be described.

You should have a reasonable balance and a sense of adventure.

No specialist clothing is required. In warm weather, ordinary gym gear will be fine (shorts/leggings/T-shirt/sweatshirt), with old sandals or trainers you don't mind getting wet. Or you can get cheap neoprene wet shoes from most large supermarkets.

In colder weather, a wetsuit or drysuit would be advisory.

Always bring a towel and a change of clothes just in case you go in during the paddle boarding session.
