New2SUP is a 90 min session to teach you the basics of Stand Up Paddle Boarding

Summary

We launch from The Boatshed in Golant and return to the same spot after paddling out on the River Fowey for a 90 minutes paddle board tuition session. Depending on your experience level your instructor will take you through staying safe on the water and how to handle your board. You will then start by kneeling and paddling to get a feel for the water and your equipment. Your instructor will show you the technique required to stand on your board but only when you are ready! Our sessions are fun and informative and as a locals your instructors have a first hand knowledge of the river and will work with you to increase your confidence and help you get the most out of your session. Turning techniques can be tricky so expect to get wet, or as we say "if you don't fall in your not trying hard enough". The objective behind this 90 minute session is to give you water confidence and get you standing, paddling and maneuvering your board safely. We have losts of different sessions to suit all skill levels, but children must be age 10 years and above.Our sessions include all equipment hire, why not check out our launch dates and times on our website at

Why take this tour?

As a local girl, born and raised in Golant, Clair has a first hand knowledge of the local area and all the points of interest you will see during your session, including historic buildings and local wildlife! she is also a bit of a nerd when it comes to the river, its tidal movement and hidden beaches, which appear along the way. Having qualified as a BSUPA instructor and holding a boatman's license and an operating license from the Fowey Harbour Board you can rest assured you are in safe hands! Your session will be fun and informative and if this does not give you the bug to take up SUP nothing will!
