Improver Course

SUP Wednesday returns for 2024, now known as our SUP Improver Course

Back for 2024 , throughout July & August we will run our third improver program, we plan on running four themed paddling sessions giving you the opportunity to improve your paddling and experience different aspects of paddleboarding.

These are not intended to replace a beginner lesson, some prior experience of paddle boarding is required

Each week we will head out for a paddle and towards the end of the session we will focus on a particular theme. Over the 4 weeks we'll cover weather, clothing, licences, after the 4 weeks you'll have the skills and confidence to plan your own trips.

Week 1 - Mon 29th July- We will focus on improving your paddling technique over a longer journey up the river.

Week 2 -Mon 5th August- We we will look to improve your balance and stance on the board, maximising your paddling effeciency and your techniques for turning.

Week 3 -Mon 12th August - We will focus on self rescue and recovery, all aspects from falling in, loosing your paddle, helping someone in the water.

Week 4 -Mon 19th August - We will develop the experience of group paddling, you'll have the opportunity to try different boards.

Each session will start at 6.30 from Baswick Landing and last between 90 minutes and 2 hours.

If you havn't got a board and still want to practice this is an ideal opportunity, you can use our boards, equipment and meet fellow paddlers for less than a typical hire charge.

This isn't a beginner lesson, this is a session for our students to get out, develop and practice on a familiar waterway. Our team are British Canoeing qualified, they might offer tips, this should be seen as a next step but most of all they'll ensure you have a safe and enjoyable journey.

This is a multi week course, we will build on the skills learnt week, by week book for the 1st week, you'll automatically be booked onto the rest
