SUP Training comprises 2 basic courses to get you up and going then Improver sessions:

Walk on Water Paddle Boarding Starter Lesson £30 (1.5 hrs) wetsuit hire £5

​For a group of up to 5 students for those who “just want to give it a go”. Less theory and more practice, but often a wetter session!

All the Instructors are trained, qualified and experienced and will take you through - equipment/kit, setting up, launching and landing, getting to grips with the board, standing up, self rescue, stance and basic paddling techniques.

​Introduction to Stand Up Paddle Boarding -  Private Tuition £150 (2.5 Hrs) wetsuit hire £5.00pp

This is a more formal course with some basic teaching on land and more time to get to grips with SUP. Each course lasts about two and half hours with about 2 hours actually on the water. Our aim is to get you paddling confidently on a stand up paddle board, whilst in the safe and capable hands of one of our enthusiastic ASI Instructors. What should you expect on the course:
1. A safety briefing
2. How to self rescue after falling off board
3. Paddling techniques, forwards, backwards,turning 

4. Paddling kneeling down,

5. Paddling standing up,

6. Development techniques and stroke coaching

Most people book the shorter course but if you would like this personalised session for a private group (of 1-5) please email:

Improver Sessions £30 (2hrs+)

Once you have attended either the basic Walk on Water or Introduction Course and demonstrated a basic competency you can join other improvers with an instructor (and often other club members) for an Improver session. These are arranged on an ad-hoc basis through the year depending on demand. The costs cover board hire and are the only sessions available for non club members to use Chelmarsh reservoir and our equipment.
