Paddleboarding – 3 Week Progression sessions – Adults

Stand Up Paddleboarding Course Builds Confidence for Beginners on Calm Waters

A new Stand Up Paddleboarding SUP progression course is offering beginners and novice paddlers the chance to experience the sport in a structured and supportive environment. Designed to introduce participants to the basics of SUP, the programme focuses on building confidence through steady practice on calm, sheltered waters.

Held weekly at a consistent time, the sessions allow learners to develop their skills gradually while using a sheltered canal basin. The format is intended to prepare participants for future paddling experiences on Scotland’s lochs, rivers, and other waterways, offering a clear pathway from beginner to confident paddler.

Throughout the course, participants are taught essential techniques such as starting, stopping, and turning the board. Instructors also incorporate fun games and interactive challenges to keep sessions engaging while reinforcing core skills and improving balance and control on the water.

Safety remains a key priority, with trained instructors providing close supervision and guidance throughout each session. Buoyancy aids are supplied for all participants, allowing even non-swimmers to take part safely. Open to individuals aged sixteen and above, the course combines learning, enjoyment, and outdoor activity to create a memorable introduction to paddleboarding.
