Group giant paddle boarding is a brilliant way to get out on the water together, whether you’re celebrating with friends or just looking for something different to do as a group. With space for up to 10 people per board, the session mixes challenges, laughter, and plenty of opportunities to get wet.
Your session begins with an introduction to the boards and safety briefing before getting straight out onto the water. Once everyone is set, you’ll test your balance, coordination, and teamwork as you paddle together on one giant board. Expect plenty of splash-filled games, from balance challenges and slip ‘n’ slides to races and even a bit of friendly wrestling.
There’s also the chance to try out standard paddle boards during the session, giving you a different feel and pace on the water. Throughout, your instructor will keep things lively with games and challenges tailored to the group, ensuring a mix of competition and fun.
You should be prepared to spend time in the water, whether that’s from jumping in or losing balance—it’s all part of the experience. With buoyancy aids provided, you’ll feel safe and supported while still being free to enjoy the playful side of paddle boarding.
Sessions take place in Dorset at either Sandbanks, Poole, or Swanage. These coastal spots are known for their calm, clear waters, which are well-suited for group paddle boarding and a range of other water-based activities. They’re also easy to reach, with transport links and local amenities nearby.
Each location offers its own charm, from the sandy beaches of Sandbanks to the harbour setting in Poole or the scenic bay at Swanage. Once your booking is confirmed, you’ll receive the exact meeting point, along with details to help make your arrival stress-free.
To join the session, you must feel confident in deep water while wearing a buoyancy aid. You’ll need to be able to move around comfortably in the sea and be prepared to take part in an active experience that includes falling or jumping in.
A reasonable level of fitness is helpful as the activities are energetic and group-based. While previous paddle boarding experience isn’t required, being willing to get involved and have fun as a team will help you get the most out of the session.
The centre is dedicated to creating fun-filled, safe, and memorable activities designed specifically for groups. Every session is private, meaning your instructor can focus entirely on your group, adapting the pace and style of activities to suit you.
With years of experience running paddle boarding events for stag and hen parties, birthdays, and team-building days, the centre knows how to keep the balance between excitement and safety. It’s a great option for anyone looking to enjoy Dorset’s waters while sharing laughs and challenges with friends.
This is a 3 hour session. This includes getting changed.
Yes, this is one of the most popular activities for stag and hen groups in Dorset. The combination of teamwork, competition, and inevitable splashes makes it a great icebreaker and creates plenty of fun memories.
The private nature of the booking means the instructor can tailor the session to your group, whether you’d prefer more games, a competitive edge, or simply a chance to relax and have fun together.
Yes, this session is for those aged 8 and above.
Each giant paddle board can take between 8 and 10 adults at once, making it perfect for large groups who want to experience the water together. The session is private, so if your group is larger, you may use multiple boards to ensure everyone has plenty of time on the water.
This makes it a fun and team-oriented activity where everyone has to work together to keep balance and steer. With everyone on one board, the challenges become part of the fun, and the more people you have, the livelier the session feels.
No experience is needed to take part. The instructor will provide full guidance at the start of the session, including how to use the paddle, balance on the board, and move as a team.
Even if you’ve never been on a paddle board before, you’ll quickly pick up the basics. The boards are large and stable, which makes them much easier to use than regular paddle boards, particularly when working together.
Falling in is all part of the fun, and most groups end up in the water at some point during the activities. Buoyancy aids are provided and must be worn throughout the session, so you’ll always be supported while in the sea.
The instructor will make sure everyone feels comfortable and safe, and they’ll run through how to get back on the board before heading out. Falling off usually just adds to the laughs and is expected during games and challenges.
