School Trips Paddleboarding

STAND UP PADDLEBOARDING TAILORED TO YOU

First up is a full safety briefing to familiarise all students with the geography and landscape around Newquay. Next up, pupils will learn the basic skills of balancing, paddling and manoeuvring the SUP from the relative comfort of the beach. This will help to fully consolidate the start of the lesson without too many splashes!

Once equipped with the basics, we will launch our stand up paddle boards from the sheltered sands of Towan Beach and head out around the coastline. We will paddle into caves and caverns that once played host to real pirates and smugglers. Sharing stories of Newquay’s dramatic past as we go, history will come bursting to life through our passionate and experienced instructor. We’ll also keep an eye out for wildlife and students may even be treated to some close ups of inquisitive seals and local dolphins!

We launch and land from two of Newquay’s lush, semi-secret coves. The start to experience is an adventure, as we walk down a rock path to the water’s edge. It’s worth it as the scenery is breath taking, there is some incredible coastal wildlife in the area, and you really are experiencing the best of Newquay’s coastal fringe. We take the walk down to the water slowly, the paddleboards will be waiting in the cove for you.

WHAT HAPPENS IF THERE IS EXTREME WEATHER?

We are super fortunate to operate many of our activities in the shelter of Towan beach. We choose the tide and weather times that deliver the very best conditions for SUP lessons in Newquay. However, we are at the mercy of Mother Nature and sometimes she may have different plans for us. We always check the forecasted conditions but if the wind or swell picks up unexpectedly, we may need to change the time or location of your session. Alternatively, we can move your booking onto a different activity, safe from unsuitable or dangerous SUP conditions.

Over 95% of our tours go ahead unaffected by the weather but, in the unlikely event that this does happen, we have excellent back-up options for you to choose from. If we need to amend your school trip activity due to adverse weather, we will let you know in advance. (No need to call us). We appreciate your understanding.
