Learn to stand-up paddleboard with a personalised 1-1 lesson on the non-tidal River Thames in Surrey. Perfect for beginners or those looking to refine their technique, this 90-minute session allows you to progress at your own pace with dedicated guidance from an experienced instructor. Lessons are tailored to your comfort level, whether you want to master basic skills or confidently stand and paddle along the river.
Sessions begin with an equipment overview and safety briefing on dry land, covering essential river safety and paddleboarding basics. Once comfortable, you move onto the calm, non-tidal waters from our private pontoon, allowing you to focus fully on learning without distraction.
You’ll start by practising manoeuvres while kneeling before progressing to the standing position when you feel ready. Throughout the lesson, you’ll explore the local river environment, taking in islands, bridges, and wildlife. The pace is entirely yours, with the instructor providing guidance and encouragement rather than pressure.
Lessons launch from a private pontoon on the River Thames in West Molesey, Surrey, a quiet stretch of river ideal for learning. The non-tidal water ensures a safe environment with minimal current, making it easier to focus on technique and enjoy your time on the board.
The surrounding area offers scenic views and a calm atmosphere, providing an immersive experience in nature while remaining accessible for all skill levels. Local amenities such as car parking, bike storage, lockers, and restrooms are conveniently located nearby.
No prior paddleboarding experience is needed. Suitable for anyone aged 11 and above. Participants should wear layered, quick-drying clothing suitable for the weather, and bring a change of clothes in case you get wet. Wetsuits are not provided.
All sessions include full safety equipment: a high-quality paddleboard, paddle, buoyancy aid, leash, waterproof phone case, and straps for glasses. The instructor will provide guidance throughout to ensure a safe, enjoyable, and confidence-building experience.
This 1-1 lesson is led by a knowledgeable local instructor with extensive experience on the River Thames. The approach focuses on personalised attention, ensuring you learn at a pace that suits your comfort and confidence level.

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.
