No experience is required. But you are required to be a confident swimmer. There is no guarantee that you will stand up first go, but that is all part of the fun! Paddleboarding is a very easy sport to learn and can actually be self-taught. As part of your hire fee though, a safety demo and beginners tuition is included in your hire that teaches you all the basics of paddleboarding. If you feel like you may require additional help or supervision, one of our instructors can be hired to paddle alongside you for just £30 extra for a 2.5-hour session. Instructors can go out with groups of up to 10 people and the price doesn’t change. Video instruction can be seen in our instruction section.
