Discover the joy of stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) with our Adult Paddleboard Taster session. Designed for beginners, this 2-hour course introduces you to the fun and fast-growing sport of paddleboarding. Embrace the opportunity to glide through the water on a calm stretch of the River Leam, experiencing the tranquility of nature from a unique perspective.
Start with a warm welcome and get to know your paddleboard and paddle, followed by an essential safety briefing. Then, enjoy a hands-on experience on the water, learning everything from basic maneuvers to more advanced paddleboarding techniques, all tailored to you.
The course unfolds on the peaceful River Leam, providing a serene environment perfect for beginners. Starting from our centre at Mill Gardens, you'll paddle through picturesque settings. This calm stretch of river is ideal for beginners.
Ideal for first-timers or those with minimal experience in paddleboarding. The course is designed to accommodate beginners, so no prior skills are required—just a readiness to learn and have fun on the water.
