Our SUP Taster Session at Hove Lagoon, Brighton, is the perfect introduction to standup paddleboarding for complete beginners. Designed for adults and teens (age 14+), this fun and friendly session starts with a short on-land demonstration, followed by plenty of time on the water to practise your new skills. Hove Lagoon’s calm and shallow waters, combined with expert guidance from BSUPA-qualified instructors, ensure you’ll be up and paddling in no time! All equipment is provided, so just bring your enthusiasm.
Your session begins with a brief on-land demonstration covering the basics of paddleboarding, such as kneeling and standing on the board. Then it’s time to get on the water! You'll learn essential SUP skills, including paddle techniques, basic turns, self-rescue methods, and safety tips. Hove Lagoon provides a safe, controlled environment for practising, and our expert instructors will guide you every step of the way.
By the end of the session, you’ll be able to paddle with confidence on calm water, and you’ll have experienced a fun, adventurous introduction to SUPing.
Hove Lagoon is located in Brighton and offers an ideal environment for beginners. The water is flat, shallow, and regularly tested to ensure high-quality conditions. With easy access to both the Lagoon and the sea, it’s the perfect place to start your SUP journey.
This session is designed for complete beginners with no prior experience necessary. If you are a non-swimmer, please let us know in advance so we can tailor the session to your needs.
