Standup paddleboard tuition in the South Hams

SUP opens up a whole new world in Watersports; covering so many disciplines you could practically do it on any day of the year no matter what the conditions, from the coast through to central London where I learnt to SUP!

My preference is to introduce novices to the sport on a one-to-one basis; sessions last for 2 hours, during which you will learn about equipment, how to stand on the board, the correct paddle stroke and methods of turning. Don’t be fooled into thinking that if you’ve tried surfing SUP will come easily; mastering proper paddle technique takes years of practise!

Equipment: I will supply you with a board, paddle and leash, but you will have to bring your own wetsuit, boots and gloves; or whatever you prefer to wear, as long as you’re prepared to get wet !

Locations: This is dependant on conditions for the day, but I make use of locations such as South Milton, Slapton Sands, the Kingsbridge Estuary and the river Dart.
