What to expect
Your session begins with kit fitting and a briefing on board handling and paddle technique on dry land. Once in the water, instructors stay close to help you find balance and rhythm. Expect to spend time building core stability, practising turns, and getting comfortable with the board beneath your feet. The pace is intentionally unhurried—you'll progress at a rate that suits you, with plenty of encouragement and corrections from your guide. Most people manage basic paddle strokes and directional control within the two hours.
Good to know
Bring your own swimwear and a towel. Reasonable fitness is necessary—the activity demands upper-body and core strength. Not suitable if pregnant, dealing with spinal issues, or managing cardiovascular conditions. Public transport nearby makes access straightforward.
