AquaPaddle UK Torres sands bay complete!
Had a few near misses but managed to stay on the board! Very different 5km to the usual river paddling I’m used to.
Looking forward to tomorrow and bobbing around at a buoy marshalling the UK ICF World Cup tech race.

The current weather front might be keeping things cold, wet, and a little stormy right now… but once it blows through, it’s time to get back on the water! 🏄‍♀️✨

Starting from Sunday 24th May, we’ve got a range of paddleboard sessions to help you get paddling with confidence, fitness, fun, and wellbeing in mind.

🌊 Get Back On Your Board Sessions
For paddlers with their own equipment who’ve had some time away from the water. Join a relaxed group session with a qualified instructor and rebuild confidence safely.

🏄 Get Started Sessions
Always wanted to try paddleboarding? Or had a go and want a lesson or two to improve your skills and confidence? These sessions are perfect for building strong foundations and really enjoying your paddling journey.

💪 Skills Sessions
Improve technique, balance, turning, confidence, and water awareness to take your paddling further.

🧘 Meditation & Wellbeing Paddles
Quiet, mindful sessions on the water designed to help you relax, reset, and reconnect.

🚣 Regular Group Paddles
Great company, fitness, fresh air, and time on the water with like-minded paddlers.

🛟 Safety & Rescue Sessions
Learn essential skills and become comfortable getting on and off your board safely — invaluable knowledge for every paddler.

📅 Midweek, evening, and selected weekend dates available.

Message me to find out more or let me know which sessions you’re interested in!

A year ago I crossed the finish line of the 16.5 mile Paddle Skedaddle endurance sprint SUP race… and this weekend I found myself reflecting on the journey rather than racing it.

Huge respect to everyone who took on the miles this year — what an incredible community of paddlers. Saturday looked absolutely glorious too, sunshine and calm water… such a contrast to Sunday’s biting northerly winds. Amazing what a difference a day makes.

Endurance paddling has a way of teaching you far more than fitness — resilience, patience, grit and the quiet joy found somewhere between the start line and the finish.
