What To Expect

With the correct safety advice and instruction, stand up paddle boarding is quick and easy to learn. First, our instructors teach you the basics, then the tour kicks off with a unique and exhilarating perspective from which to view Newquay’s dramatic coastline. From the sheltered smugglers coves of Towan Head, to the harbour and Newquay Bay; Newquay has SUP locations and coastal routes perfect for SUP adventures of every description. You’ll be provided with your own paddle board, paddle, wetsuit and buoyancy aid at our purpose-designed centre, just a short walk from Towan beach. After a water safety briefing and a lesson in basic paddle skills, you’ll launch from a sheltered section of coastline and begin your stand-up paddle board adventure in Newquay! By the time you step back on dry land, our SUP Lesson & Tour should have transformed you from complete newbie to confident paddler within a few short hours. Our experienced instructors will take you through the motions of standing up with a step-by-step guide on balance and control. Starting out on your knees, you will get a feel for this exciting new sport before advancing to a stand-up position when you feel safe and confident.

    If you could give a 6-star review, we totally would!!! From the minute we visited the centre to discuss what we wanted, the staff member was helpful, informative, and offered excellent advice. When we arrived for our session, we were greeted by Amy. She was clearly experienced and loves her job - and who can blame her!! She led our group expertly along the coast line offering tidbits of local knowledge and bags of opportunities for cave swimming and exploring and the graceful getting off and on of an XL paddleboard 😆 she was a great coach and clearly loves what she does - we had an incredible session and would throughly recommend for novices and experienced alike.

  • Great fun and great coach

    James was a great guide with a real interest and knowledge of wildlife and local history. I would say the Paddleboarding isn’t for the faint hearted actually, and if you’re unfit, even tougher. I was surprised how hard going it was on mildly choppy water, having only done it on still lakes and calm tropical sea before! Falling in with a helmet, life vest, wetsuit and trainers on wasn’t pleasant anlthough appreciate H&S takes priority for any of these businesses. Highlight was seeing an adult seal and a youngster which was totally unexpected. Would probably chose kayaking in future due to fitness level!

    The most amazing paddle boarding session ever!!! The tour guides Oleks and Finlay were such good guys. The cave tour, paddling to the rock and the games we played were so so good! Going out to the rock and riding the massive waves was so breathtaking, couldn’t stop smiling. It was so so special, will never forget it. The tour guides are an absolute asset to your company, made everyone welcome and giving them the confidence to go out their comfort zone. You guys are amazing x

    This review relates to a private SUP tour we had with Oleks. This was our second visit to the centre and won’t be our last. Very friendly and efficient booking process online and would highly recommend a private tour for that little bit extra. The guide was really friendly throughout, made us feel at ease and explained everything clearly. We spent over 1.5hrs out on the water working up the coastline where Oleks showed us some local sights and made the experience fun with various challenges and games along the way. Would highly recommend this place (again). If you are reading this thinking about booking, don’t hesitate!
