Summary

The perfect way to get started with paddle boarding if you’re a curious beginner! Get out on the water and give SUP a go, on one of our 2 hour taster sessions. Our aim is to give you all the information and experience you need to decide if you would like to invest further in the sport. It’s fun, and a lot easier than you think! The session will be led by one of our qualified instructors. This is your chance to pick their brain and ask as many questions as you want! Please remember these sessions are for newcomers to sample the sport. If you are wanting to learn specific skills, then please look at our other courses. The session will be on the river, providing a fantastic location with calm waters. You will be on the water for most of the session, which will include paddling and some bank-based coaching. When you arrive at our venue you will be met by a member of our team and they will fit you with your equipment and you will be given a short safety briefing and explanation in the use of the equipment before getting onto the water. You will be taught how to stand comfortably, control and stay safe on your board as well as hopefully interacting with some of the local wildlife.

Why take this tour?

Venue location and your arrival details A beautiful location for an enjoyable canoe experience. This section of the River Wear is well sheltered from the elements and allows us to paddle on a calm stretch of flowing water. The river is abundant with wildlife, and provides a great little haven for spotting kingfishers, otters, heron, salmon and sea trout, mute swans, muscovy ducks, great black-backed gulls, wood pigeon, and the occasional glimpse of roe deer!
