What Can I Expect

Explore the wonderful waterways when you go paddleboarding on the River Avon! This Stand Up Paddleboarding school runs beginner 'Ready to Ride' SUP sessions on the calm waters of the Avon at Keynsham near Bristol. 

This SUP school is level 2 BSUPA accredited and is partnered up with British Canoeing, so you are assured of the very best training out on the paddle board with this team and a wonderful opportunity to learn to SUP in the lovely Avon Valley.

Your 'Ready to Ride' lesson will begin on the slipway of the Avon Valley. This is where you'll be shown the paddle board equipment and where basic techniques are taught before you enter the water. Once you're kitted out in your wetsuit and buoyancy aid, with a paddle in your hand and board under your arm, it's time to head off!

You will start off kneeling on the board. You'll practice the paddling techniques and get used to the feel of being on the board (and believe us, it's not as wobbly as you think!), as you paddle around. You'll then progress to standing up and doing various turns, learning about self-rescue techniques and having some fun with your paddleboard.

Once you've got these essentials cracked, you're off, cutting through the water like a SUP pro, paddleboarding confidently along the River Avon. Your session ends with some entertaining onboard games to show you just how versatile these stand up paddleboards are. This Bristol team can guarantee that you won't be staying dry for long!
