Kids SUP Lesson and Camp Day

Our Stand Up Paddleboard (SUP) lessons are ideal for those looking to develop a new skill and feel more confident on a paddle board. You’ll spend 1.5 hours with an instructor who will start from the very beginning, covering everything from safely carrying the board, getting to your feet, paddling and maneuvering.

Adults must accompany the children. Adults can participate as support for your child or just observe at the shoreline.

After a briefing from the instructor and a warm up, we’ll spend the first half of your lesson learning the skills you need to get started. We’ll cover:
* Your equipment, what you are carrying and why
* Lifting, carrying and launching your SUP with minimal environmental disturbance
* Efficient forward paddling, making every stroke count
* Initiating and executing turns
* Stopping and reversing, using backward strokes
* Maneuvering around obstacles and spotting submerged hazards
* Rescuing yourself and assisting others in an emergency

Who is this lesson suitable for?
This lesson is suitable for accompanied children age 8 or over. Kids should be comfortable around water and able to swim.

* Closed toe footwear that you don’t mind getting wet (eg. wetsuit boots or old trainers)
* Swimwear
