Paddleboarding Experience Days

Sea SUP Trips and River Paddleboarding Experience Gifts

First practised by our Hawaiian friends, Stand Up Paddleboarding, otherwise known as SUP, has become popular across the globe and is now said to be the fastest growing watersport, worldwide. Unlike surfing, paddleboarding does not require waves, meaning that it can be practised on any open body of water rather than just on the coast. Requiring only a board, paddle, and a sense of balance, SUP is the perfect watersport for people of all ages and our beginner lessons are a great way to get out on the water and have some fun whilst keeping fit!

For November, the latest Experience Days for Paddleboarding and SUP Experience Days include, Bristol Stand Up Paddleboarding Adventure Experience, Keswick Guided Paddle Boarding Experience, and Torquay Private Kayak or SUP Tour.

    Paddleboarding and SUP Experience Gifts

    Stand up paddleboarding (or SUP as it’s known for short), is the fastest growing water sport in the world for good reason. It’s a fun activity that brings together adventure and exercise in the great outdoors. 

    While stand up paddleboarding gives you an amazing full body workout, you don’t have to be super fit to take part. It’s a low-impact activity that strengthens your entire body, works your core, and develops your fitness without putting your joints under any strain. The hardest part is learning to stand up, but once you’ve mastered that, you can take it at your own pace, so it’s perfect for all ages and fitness levels.

    Stand up paddleboarding is good for your mind and soul as well. There are few activities as mindful as gently paddling down a river on a SUP. It gives you an opportunity to get away from it all, to clear your mind, and to connect with the natural world. In fact, research has shown that stand up paddleboarding can lower levels of stress and anxiety. 

    Try stand up paddleboarding in some of the most spectacular natural settings in the UK. Take a guided SUP tour on the River Wye in Gloucestershire, enjoy a one-hour stand up paddleboarding experience on the beautiful River Adur in the South Downs, hit the River Leam near Leamington Spa for a full day paddleboarding experience, and with rugged mountain ranges and sparkling water in every direction, there can be few settings more breath-taking than the Isle of Arran for a 90-minute beginners paddleboard session. 

    You can enjoy the benefits of stand up paddleboarding in urban settings as well. Head to London for a 2-hour introduction to paddleboarding, during which you’ll learn basic paddleboarding techniques, before putting your new skills to the test on London’s waterways, or hit Hove Lagoon in Brighton for an exhilarating day splashing around on the water. 

    If you already have some paddleboarding experience, a stand up paddleboard rental is the way to go. Discover the spectacular scenery round the Lower Lliw Reservoir at your own pace with a one or two-hour Swansea SUP rental. After a short introduction and safety briefing, explore the lush green countryside from the water, keeping your eyes peeled for birds and other wildlife. 

    Have a go at stand up paddleboarding or treat somebody you love to a stand up paddleboarding experience gift. It’s an amazing activity for all ages.

    Went along on a mild September morning for my SUP Taster session. Was sorted out quickly and efficiently and was on the board, practicing in the marina area. Soon went onto the river, shortly followed by falling into the river but that's the point surely! The instructors were friendly and helpful and the location very pretty. I didn't opt to pay a tenner for a wetsuit and regretted it a bit as the wind picked up, then rain. But it didn't spoil a great couple of hours.

    I booked the paddleboarding session for my wife as a surprise. She can be nervous with water activities, although loves swimming, so I thought that getting some professional tuition would be a real benefit to her confidence in the water. Initially she was quite trepidatious but after seeing the safe area where you begin and seeing the get-up-and-go of the rest of the quite large group she took to the water. The instructors were very supportive and understanding, but also quite matter of fact, so after announcing that we'd all be going pretty much straight onto the river there was no real time for the fear to kick in. I really enjoyed the experience as, although I similarly am not a big fan of the water, it was a real good cardio, muscular and coordination challenge. The instructors give great coaching points and exercises for those that wanted to push themselves a bit harder throughout the session. There were number of dunkers along the river journey, as you would expect, but the water was remarkably warm and given the life jackets you felt perfectly safe. My wife was even able to stand up and join us on a couple of occasions, which was fantastic. For those who lack the core or muscular strength you always have the option of kneeling for stability. All of those in the group at one stage chose to try the standing version though, so that was thanks in part to the staff and their enthusuiasm. The instructors were able to foster a great sense of camaraderie and fun in the group, which numbered around ten. The route had lots of twists and turns, with some floating branches and overhanging trees to manoeuvre around. The water was perfectly calm and the scenery lovely. Can't fault it. Very enjoyable, great tuition, perfect time length and I would love to have another go, perhaps this time with some one-to-one tuition. Give it a go: you won't regret it!
