Private 1:1 SUP Lessons

 
 

Looking for a bit more confidence on SUP but prefer the privacy of a private class where you’ll receive 1:1 tuition from your instructor? This is for you.

These sessions are also bookable for small groups of up to 8 friends who’d like to learn together or family bookings including kids ages 5+.

ABOUT THIS LESSON

Our Private SUP Lessons can cater for all experience levels and backgrounds. Whether you’re brand new to SUP and you’ve never touched a board, or perhaps you tried SUP before but had a negative experience? We’re here to help.

These private SUP lessons are also great for those who are wanting to refine a certain area of their paddling ability, whether that’s speed, stroke, confidence, balance - whatever your focus area, during a 1:1 Private SUP Lesson we’ll be able to tailor your session to focus on it.

Things we may cover (each session is tailored to your needs/areas of focus):

  • Safety on and off the water

  • Warm up/cool down

  • Prone paddling, knee-based paddling to standing

  • Turning & stopping techniques

  • The secrets to stability on a SUP (how to avoid shakey legs!!)

  • How to avoid tired toes!

  • Increasing your paddle efficiency (and therefore go further with less effort)

  • Understanding our environment (e.g. weather)

  • The 5 Phases of the Paddle Stroke (beginners+)

  • Cross-bow turns (beginners+)

  • Footwork drills (beginners+)

ABILITY LEVEL

Suitable for ALL abilities including those who’ve NEVER touched a SUP before and those who have perhaps tried SUP but don’t feel very confident on the water. Each private lesson is tailored to your ability. We can also teach kids from the age of 5+ however if they are very petite, we may need to attach their board via a tow line to the instructor or parent’s board at all times for their safety.

WEATHER

The She SUPs team will be in touch with you via SMS if the weather (in particular wind) conditions look unsafe to paddle and we will arrange to reschedule the paddle or provide a refund. Please assume we are proceeding as normal if you don't hear from us, and trust that we will never run a paddle if it's unsafe to do so. Often generalist forecasts like Apple and Google forecasts are not accurate enough for paddling, so your instructor will be analysing more in-depth weather charts to decide whether to proceed.
