Core Techniques
Balance & Control
Gain confidence on your board in all conditions
If you struggle to move your feet or control your board confidently, then our Balance & Control session is for you.
This session is all about building confidence and is a foundation for all paddling disciplines. We will focus on making you more comfortable on your board through the application of simple balance and control techniques.
​
During this session you will also learn the only 5 stances you will ever need on a SUP no matter what you are doing - from recreational paddling, surfing, racing, and everything in between.

Paddling Technique

In this session, we will show you the foundations of good SUP technique and review your paddling to help you improve beyond the session.

Enjoy more time on the water and take on more challenges with good technique.

Advanced Techniques
Buoy Turns
This session is all about giving you more confidence when turning your board.
Turning your board is a fundamental skill which you will use all the time when paddling. From buoy turns in races to manoeuvering during leisure paddles, this session will leave you turning more confidently.
​
Our Buoy Turning session will help you reduce the risk of falling in by teaching you simple footwork and paddle techniques to help you maintain your balance. Not only will you improve your turning technique, but you will also develop more confidence moving around your board, which will help in all aspects of SUP.

Racing Paddle Technique
SUP Racing is so much more than just paddling fast. With good technique, you can paddle harder for longer and help prevent injuries from the strain of racing.
In this session, we review your technique and help to refine your style, making you more efficient, adding power, and increasing your speed in line with your racing goals.
​
At Haywood Sports, we focus on your strengths, not your weaknesses, therefore giving you more tools in the box and getting the foundations right to facilitate progress,
