What next?

SUP is a really social sport, & it’s an ideal activity to do with family& friends. It can be enjoyed on any flat water, whether it’s a river, lake or canal, & it offers people the enjoyment of a sporting activity, with the relaxing environment of time spent with friends on the water.

The best way to get started with this exciting new sport is to book yourself onto our 1 hour SUP Skills Taster Lesson for complete beginners, or if you're more confident try our 2 hour “Ready to Ride” SUP lesson. Once you’ve mastered the basics you’ll be ready to take on some longer river trips, and join us on for our regular SUP Club meetings.
