From a warm welcome, to warm showers, including everything in between and after… we have you covered… from meeting your Guide at our Lakeside Centre, to receiving all the kit that you’ll need, including top of the range SUP Boards, Wetsuits, Buoyancy Aids, Paddles & accessories, full use of our centres changing/shower facilities and post paddle Gin sampling at Hillyard House.
As a guided experience, no previous experience of SUP Boarding is necessary, and you’re guaranteed an awesome time regardless… Simply Book & Go!
Afterwards, if you’re not already staying local, and you haven’t already quenched your thirst, or hunger for that matter, why not enjoy some local hospitality… this is entirely optional, however if you wish to plan ahead, check out our ‘Places to eat, drink & sleep’.
