An incredibly easy water sport to learn, SUP can be picked up quite quickly, with many becoming expert paddle boarders in no time at all.
No matter your age or fitness level, paddleboarding is accessible to all.
The basic rule is dress for the weather and local conditions. Take in to account the forecast for the day – if it’s likely to rain or get windy, make sure you have additional clothing in a fully waterproof bag (dry bag).
You can burn twice as much calories as walking with paddleboarding.
On average, you might burn anywhere from 300 to 400 calories based on a light, recreational paddle.
On a more vigorous paddle, such as a cross-training SUP workout incorporating yoga or something really rigorous like SUP racing, you could expect to burn over 750-to-1,000 calories!
The amount of weight a paddle board can support is genrally determined by it’s size – the bigger the board, the more weight it will support.
The average 10’6″ paddleboard can support approximately 110KGs
However, there are boards that can support much more, so it’s just a matter of finding the right board for your size.
Likewise, a lighter paddler might find an average 10’6″ board too cumbersome to paddle and there are smaller boards that would be more suited.
It is possible to paddleboard without knowing how to swim, although wearing a life vest will be essential. Therefore, it will be better it if you know how to swim as it is without a doubt that you will fall off of your paddleboard at some point!

We had a fantastic morning on the river, the sun was shining and Andy was very helpful in his advice of where we could get to in the time we’d booked. All equipment and facilities great too, very handy to have lockers to leave some bags behind. Would definitely recommend!
Had a great Kayak session with Andy. A knowledgable, friendly and interesting guy and gave me the confidence I needed to start going out on my own kayak reguarly.
