SUP Sea Skills Course

£110.00

 

Learn essential skills for SUP touring and exploring on the sea.

This one day course is an opportunity to build on your flat water paddling and develop your skills and confidence on the sea. Whether you are planning a multi-day paddle or just want to take your paddleboard to the coast, this is the course for you.

ABOUT THE COURSE

The course isn’t about surfing waves – it’s about learning how to safely explore Britain’s incredible coastline. You will get a chance to practise and play in rougher water and build understanding of journey planning on the sea. This course is a step up from our SUP Fundamentals course and we would recommend that you have either attended that, or have substantial flat water experience.
