Private Stand Up Paddleboard Lesson on the River Thames, Surrey

Yes. We usually run this session on the non-tidal stretch of the River Thames in Surrey.

However, as this is a private session, please let us know when you book if you would like a session to take place in Staines, Shepperton, Weybridge, Kingston Upon Thames, Sunbury, Chertsey.

During the summer we recommend quick-drying activewear. No jeans or cotton please, as cotton gets cold and heavy when wet. If you have a summer wetsuit, please feel free to bring it along.

For winter paddling you must wear a winter wetsuit or drysuit.

That’s really your call. The quality of our local waterways is something to always be aware of. There are plenty of wild & open water swimmers who take the plunge all year round. But please do your own research.

We do ask participants to cover up any minor cuts and abrasions, and to wash once home if you fall in the river, this is to reduce the risk of weil's disease. If you have any open wounds please do not participate and contact us to reschedule your paddle.

If you feel unwell after your paddle, please contact your doctor and explain that you have been in the river.

Our summer season runs from April - September (weather dependant).

We have 5 mm winter wetsuits for customers to use. They are mandatory during the winter months and they must be requested in advance.

In the high season wetsuits are not so necessary, however you might want to consider wearing your own summer shorty.
