Time for SUP!

Join us for a paddle board trip at Spring Valley Lakes

The sun is out, so it’s the perfect time to hit the water!
If you’ve been dreaming of trying SUP, but kept putting it off now is the time

We’re heading out again and running fun intro paddle board lessons
No experience needed, we’ll teach you everything from scratch. It’s easy, fun and relaxed and you’ll be surrounded by other beginners.

What’s included in the session:

✅ All equipment provided - SUP board, paddle, buoyancy aid, and wetsuit if needed
✅ Quick land-based intro on how to hold the paddle, stand on the board, and (if needed) how to fall with style 😄
✅ Water practice - start kneeling, then stand up, learn basic paddling and turning techniques
✅ Small group size, 4 - 8 people only, so your instructor gives attention to everyone
✅ Relaxed and fun vibe - balance games, confidence building, lots of laughs
✅ Tips for next steps - what to do next, where to paddle, and what gear to get if you fall in love with it

Want to paddle on your own?
