Memberships

Join our informal and flexible membership scheme – pay as you go or choose from our discounted subscriptions! You must have paddled with us before so you understand how the harbour works.

We offer two types of sessions for members:

Guided Sessions
Paddle with an instructor. Great for learning new skills, building confidence, or enjoying a relaxed, supported session.

Unguided Sessions
Paddle independently with friends once you’ve been signed off by an instructor.

How does membership work?

Member sessions take place regularly throughout the year as fun, social paddles. Sessions are 1.5 hours. These are relaxed sessions – and there’s always an instructor on the water to keep you safe and provide tips if you’d like.

Sessions are suitable for all and we leave no-one behind. We’re a friendly bunch and in the evenings and weekends there’s often a coffee or beer afterwards too.

How do I book member sessions?

Sessions are now available to book online four weeks in advance. Either pay-as-you-go or choose from 5 and 10 session passes. Check out the “TeamUp Members” app on iOS and Android to view your classes, manage your bookings, and view your membership.

Do I need previous experience?

Yes! You must have paddled with SUP Bristol prior to participating in any of these sessions. An intro session is vital to give you the information you need to paddle safely in the busy Bristol harbour. You must have completed one prior to joining our members’ SUP sessions. If you’ve not booked yours, get started now.

HOW DO I PADDLE UNGUIDED?

To paddle unguided you need to be signed off by our team. This means you can:

• Paddle confidently on your own
• Perform a self-rescue
• Paddle safely in Bristol Harbour

Most people are ready after completing our Intro to Paddleboarding one day course and getting some experience on the water.

These sessions run at the same times as guided sessions and are structure like this:

• You’ll get your board, paddle, and a quick safety briefing
• You must paddle with at least one other signed-off paddler

• Unguided sessions are weather dependent and may be restricted by the instructor on the day.

CAN I USE Move GB?

Yes, we’re fully integrated with Move GB. If you’re a Move member, please book using their App or website.
