What to expect
You'll start on the beach with basic stance and paddle technique, then progress to paddling upright through the shallows. The instructor watches your form, offering adjustments to help you find stability and power. Most people manage to paddle short distances within the first session. Expect some core engagement—you'll feel it the next day—but nothing punishing. The water's rhythm becomes almost hypnotic once you find your groove. You'll finish feeling energised rather than exhausted, with footage to review your improvement.
Good to know
Bring water and sunscreen; the sun reflects hard off the water. Transport links are nearby if you're not driving. Not suitable if you have cardiovascular concerns. Wear the provided rash guard to prevent chafing.
