Learn the basics of Stand Up Paddleboarding

The Taster session lasts 1,5h. We start with an introduction on the beach and then go off on our knees and have a go at standing up, once you feel happy with standing on the board we explore a few different ways of navigating the board and then
head off towards the Harbour or Wisemans Bridge depending on the wind direction. We teach a maximum of 8 people in a group to make sure that everyone gets the most out of it. The price include a shorty wetsuits and buoyancy aid if needed.

We spent the whole summer in Saundersfoot and my son had the opportunity to join the sup kids club. He was a little nervous at first but they made him feel very welcome. Brilliant teaching and fantastic experience. We will definitely be back!
