A friendly and informal session for those who want to bring their own paddleboard and have some fun in a relaxed group setting. This is a great opportunity to build confidence, improve technique, and enjoy time on the water with like-minded paddlers.
After a short introduction, you’ll have time to get comfortable on your board before the session begins. The instructor will provide guidance and coaching, but the focus is on creating a welcoming space where you can practise at your own pace.
During the session, you’ll have the chance to work on paddle strokes, balance, and general confidence on the board. Whether you want to improve a specific skill or just enjoy paddling in a relaxed setting, this is a great way to spend time on the water without the pressure of a structured lesson.
There will also be time for some fun challenges or games for those who want to get involved. The session is designed to be supportive, with plenty of encouragement from both the instructor and fellow paddlers.
The sheltered canal at Berkhamsted is ideal for social paddling, offering calm waters and a safe environment to practise in a group. With plenty of space to spread out, everyone can work at their own level while still enjoying the social aspect of paddling together.
With minimal boat traffic and no strong currents, it’s a great spot for building confidence and developing skills in a relaxed and controlled setting.
This session is suitable for all paddlers, but basic paddleboarding experience is helpful. You should be able to stand on a board and paddle independently.
Bell believes that paddleboarding should be fun, inclusive, and accessible for all. This session is designed to create a relaxed and welcoming environment where paddlers can build confidence without feeling pressured.
With years of coaching experience, Bell knows how to adapt the session to suit different abilities, making sure everyone gets something valuable from the time on the water.
