SUP LESSONS AT GWITHIAN BEACH

If you’re after something a bit slower paced than surfing, why not give stand up paddleboarding a go? When the water’s a bit calmer, we can guide you out into the bay where you can really feel the tranquillity of the ocean. The paddle gives you much more control over the board than surfing does, and when you’re ready to come in, you can let the waves draw you back to shore at a much gentler pace.

  • 2 Hour Introduction to Stand Up Paddleboarding – £40 per person
  • 2 Hour Guided SUP Adventure Tour – £40 per person
  • 2 Hour Private 1-to-1 Lesson – £75
  • 2 Hour Private 1-to-2 Lesson – £100
  • 2 Hour Private Group Lesson (3-4 people) – £45 per person
