THE EXPERIENCE
New to SUP? You’ve come to the right place. We will start you off on the right path and will make your SUP experience as easy as possible for you. You’ll be on a board that is so stable that all you’ll need to do is enjoy yourself. Our goal for your first session is that you’ve enjoyed yourself, and finish up with a big smile on your face, keen to get out for some more.
The format for a beginner lesson is simple. Starting off on dry land, we familiarise you with the paddling and turning techniques, and that all-important first stand-up. Once we’re confident that you’ve got the hang of it, we all get out onto the water, and paddle around for a while in the kneeling position (we call it the ‘safe position’), until you’re comfortable with paddling, turning, and generally being on a board. Then we’ll get you up into the stand-up position, and head off for a cruise. The session will normally last about2 hours including getting geared up and your paddling instructions.
A REAL IRISH EXPERIENCE
The lesson will take place at the most sheltered, safe piece of water we can find for you. This will be at Baginbun Beach or Carnivan Beach in Fethard-On-Sea, Co Wexford. We decide the location on the day pending the marine conditions.
There will be no big waves or surf to put you off or make it harder. We can almost guarantee that you will be standing up and paddling in that first session. You may think you have a dreadful balance or are not fit enough to manage it, but the truth is that if you can stand up, you can stand-up paddleboard. We have taught many people over the years, and have a huge repertoire of tricks and techniques up our sleeve.
