1 Hour SUP Lessons
Get out on the canals to learn about the most fun water-sport around.
Our 1hr SUP lessons will get you confident on the board, even if you've never tried SUP before. Learn the technique to balance on the board and how to paddle, and then get out on the canals with our instructors to try it out. The flat water of the canals is an ideal place for learning and will make you more comfortable and confident on the board.
A lesson also gives you the opportunity to get tailored advice to your own strength/body type and the kind of SUP adventure you want to do, be it racing, touring or surfing.
