Lessons cost only £40 per person for three hours on the water, or £25 for 1.5 hours. All equipment required such as Wetsuits and Buoyancy Aids are provided.   Our lessons are tailor made to the group and /or yourself. We have been Stand Up Paddleboarding since the sport came to the UK and use that experience and knowledge to our teaching, the outcome being you will become confident, efficient paddlers quickly.

 We use as our main location Loch Freuchie and the River Quaich in Perthshire. We use this location as it is the perfect learning environments; plenty of shelter, stunning views, lots to explore and are pretty weather proof. When learning, the correct conditions are essential for enjoyment, safety and progression, which is why we use Loch Freuchie. If you would like to a lesson in another location, just let us know as we are a completely mobile school.

We are proud to be able to offer British Canoeing Paddle Safer, Paddle Start and Paddle Explore courses. These are fully certificated courses (on your choice of SUP, Kayak, Canoe or Inflatable Kayak) in which you will learn plenty of the skills and knowledge to become independent paddlers. A great way to learn and pick up a nationally recognized award at the same time.
