Itinerary

This 2-hour 1-2-1 training and touring session is perfect for beginners who want to go from complete novice to proficient paddler or existing paddlers looking to improve their technique. This is not a group session, you will have the complete attention of ASI instructor, James Wittering.

Perfect for beginners as full instruction is given and all gear is provided including boards, paddles and buoyancy aids, just bring yourself. After an introduction to SUP, a safety briefing and your land-based instruction, we'll head out onto the water for a gentle paddle down the river to enjoy the tranquillity, meet some local wildlife (buzzards, kingfishers, herons, otters and even swimming dear are all about if we're lucky!) and have lots of fun as you learn a new skill and find out for yourself why SUP is the fastest growing watersport in the world!

"Fantastic morning paddling from Eckington Bridge. I think I'm hooked on it and will be booking in again very soon. Really relaxed session and great instructor, everyone should try it." Tim (Facebook review)

    Wow what an experience. Considering first time doing this plenty of time on the water to enjoy your new skills. Alex is fab, lovely welcome and friendly and fun throughout your time there, explains everything well and is always on stand by to assist. We had loads of time on the water and Alex fills you with so much confidence and technics that you are up and running in no time. We just had the best time and would love to rebook to experience the Safari now. 10 out of 10 experience

    A brilliant 1-1 session with Alex. Felt slightly anxious on arrival, but Alex's warm welcome and sense of humour immediately put me at ease. I'm not a complete beginner - but had lost a little confidence on the water and wanted to improve my paddle technique as I'd never had a formal lesson before. We went back to basics and I learnt some new skills. We had an enjoyable paddle on a beautiful calm stretch of the River Avon which is a perfect setting for beginners. If you are looking for a beginner or improver lesson with a great coach, I would highly recommend booking. Wittering SUP is the perfect place to learn and gain confidence on the water safely.

    I was very nervous my husband thought I was going to get back in the car, but Alex introduced herself and put me at ease. She is so good and got me standing really quick I also learned how to manoeuvre the paddleboard. Self Rescue is very hard for me but im not giving up , Roll on next week

    I am just starting out SUP racing and having managed without learning how to do a step-back turn before, I found myself struggling on a new rigid board. Alex broke down the movement really clearly and I was quickly getting the hang of it. Lots of great advice and feedback on how to improve going forward. The location was perfect. Deep, clear water meaning falling in (which I did my fair share of) was not an issue. We had a lot of fun, and it massively improved my confidence moving around the board. I can't wait to get back out to practice again.
