Stand-up paddle boarding is quite accessible for beginners. Our experienced instructors will guide you through the basics, ensuring you feel comfortable and confident on the board. Most people find they can stand and paddle within their first lesson.

We recommend wearing comfortable, quick-drying clothing suitable for water activities. In warmer weather, swimwear or board shorts and a rash guard work well. In cooler conditions, a wetsuit might be more appropriate. Don’t forget to bring a hat, sunscreen, and a towel.

While it’s beneficial to know how to swim, it’s not a requirement for our courses. We provide personal flotation devices (PFDs) for all participants, and our instructors are trained to ensure your safety on the water.

Maintaining balance on a paddle board involves a few key techniques:

• Stand with your feet parallel and hip-width apart.
• Keep your knees slightly bent.
• Look at the horizon rather than your feet.
• Use your core muscles to stay stable. Our instructors will provide detailed guidance and practice exercises to help you build confidence and balance.

Yes, safety is our priority. Here are some key tips:

• Always wear your personal flotation device (PFD).
• Use a leash to stay connected to your board.
• Be aware of weather and water conditions before heading out.
• Stay within your skill level and close to shore if you’re a beginner.
• Follow the instructions and guidance of our certified instructors at all times.
