Our Stand Up Paddleboard group sessions are guided trips taken by highly qualified instructors and suitable for both complete beginners and paddlers with experience. On the River Thames we time our trips around the tides so that we can travel further and usually make it to a riverside pub for a halfway pit stop. Either heading towards Richmond on the high tide or Barnes on the low tide.

On the grand Union Canal we take it a bit slower (as there is no tide carrying us along) paddling up towards Little Venice – sometimes with a canalside pub stop along the way.

Every session starts with a safety briefing and land based skill drills so beginners can grasp the basics and returning paddlers refresh their skills. We tend to do most of our learning on the water under a watchful eye of a coach aiming to get you going as soon as possible and safe to do so.

Book a private off peak (weekday) session for 2 people on the River Thames or Grand Union Canal at Kew Bridge, Ladbroke Grove or Brentford Lock. To have an instructor all to yourself for a personalised guided tour.
