Everyone is fitted with a paddleboard, paddle, and buoyancy aid. A 15-minute land-based briefing follows, where you'll be shown how to handle your board and paddle safely. This includes understanding key parts of the paddleboard, kneeling and standing techniques, turning methods, and how to paddle efficiently using the five-phase paddle stroke. Instructors will also go through important safety information, including how to fall correctly and self-rescue techniques for getting back onto your board from the water. Once everyone is kitted up and ready, you’ll carry your boards down to the water for your first practical session. You’ll start off kneeling, getting used to the feel of the board and practising your strokes in a calm, shallow area. When you feel comfortable, the group will start to explore a section of the River Avon together. There's no pressure to stand up quickly—each person progresses at their own pace, with guidance and encouragement throughout. The river offers a peaceful backdrop for learning, and the session allows time to try standing up, improve your paddle control, and enjoy the water. After a relaxed paddle and some light skills practice, you’ll return to shore, where there’s a final debrief and a chance to ask questions or get feedback from your instructor. This is a very inclusive session, suitable for a wide range of ages and abilities.

You’ll want to wear comfortable, quick-drying clothes that you don’t mind getting wet. Lightweight gym wear, board shorts, or leggings are ideal. Avoid anything bulky like denim or thick cotton. Water shoes or sandals with a heel strap are great, but barefoot is fine too. Bring a towel, a full change of clothes for afterwards, and a bottle of water. If it’s sunny, sunscreen and a hat are a good idea. On cooler days, a lightweight waterproof or windproof layer can help if it’s breezy. ### Is there an age limit for participants? Yes, participants must be at least 10 years old. Children under 18 must be accompanied by a guardian. We ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all ages, but it's important that younger paddlers are comfortable in the water and able to swim 50 meters. ### How do I know if the weather conditions are suitable for SUP? Safety is our top priority. We closely monitor weather conditions and will notify you in advance if the session needs to be rescheduled due to unsuitable weather. Generally, light rain doesn't impede our sessions, but strong winds or lightning will result in a postponement. ### Can I join a session if I have a disability or neurodiversity? Absolutely! We strive to make SUP accessible to everyone. If you or a loved one has a disability or neurodiversity that might impact your SUP experience, please contact us via the adventuro chat beforehand. We'll work together to create a plan and a safe, accommodating environment for your session. ### Do I need any paddleboarding experience to take part? Not at all. This session is designed specifically for beginners or those with very limited experience. The land-based briefing covers all the essential techniques before you even get on the water, including how to kneel paddle, transition to standing, and use the paddle effectively. The practical part of the session takes place at a relaxed pace, with plenty of support and no pressure to stand unless you're ready. Everything is broken down step-by-step to help you feel confident and safe. ### Do you have a minimum number of participants for this session? Yes – we usually require a minimum of 2 people for this session to go ahead. If you're booking solo, don’t worry. We’ll get in touch to discuss options and do our best to join you up with another group or an existing session that suits your availability. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://wp.adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/jet-form-builder/d3db718a011f94f39dd49b576d785b08/2024/01/PXL_20220716_084721973.MP_-2048x1152-1.webp - **Gallery image count**: 11 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
