Hit the beach running ready to catch some waves
Thinking of catching some waves? Then this one is for you.
Surfing is one of the most fun things you can do on your SUP and this session is all about getting you ready to catch some waves or build your confidence to progress in the surf.
​
We show you how to safely get out through the surf, how to catch your first waves and how to get back in again safely. You will learn about timing to catch waves, starting to turn and what to do with your paddle once on the wave.

Make turning you board simple
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 to 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.
