What to Expect

Your private lesson will begin with a detailed briefing where your instructor will introduce you to the essential paddleboarding techniques. You’ll learn how to balance on the board, paddle effectively, and steer with control. Once you're comfortable, you'll head onto the water to explore the coast at your own pace. The instructor will focus on your specific needs, whether it's building your confidence, refining your technique, or improving your endurance.

The session allows for a more personalised experience, as the instructor tailors the lesson to your goals, offering helpful feedback and practical tips. With a focus on improving your technique, you’ll learn to paddle in a variety of conditions, navigating calm waters, sheltered coves, and exploring coastal features like caves and cliffs. Free session photography is included, so you can take home lasting memories of your adventure.

As weather conditions can vary, the location of your session will be confirmed the day before. An alternative location will be selected if necessary to ensure the safest and most enjoyable experience.

Location

The lessons are conducted at either Cadgwith Cove or Mullion Cove on the Lizard Peninsula. Both locations offer calm starting points for beginners, with the opportunity to head out into open waters for a more adventurous experience. 

Cadgwith Cove offers a picturesque fishing village with a dramatic coastline, while Mullion Cove provides rugged terrain and excellent opportunities to explore marine life. The stunning natural surroundings make both locations ideal for a private paddleboarding lesson.

Prerequisites

To participate, you must be at least 10 years old, and children under 12 will need to have an accompanying adult for kayaking sessions.
