Intermediate Paddleboarding

https://www.riverhambleadventures.com/courses/entry/1803
Saturday 19th September @ 3.30pm | 2 hours | Swanwick | £30

The Intermediate Paddleboarding session will show you how to paddle skilfully, efficiently and gracefully - rather than just getting from A to B.

We'll look at improved forward paddling, more versatile ways to turn and how to paddle on just one side.

We'll also cover some of the knowledge that Intermediate Paddlers would be expected to know such as when you need a licence or permit, how tides work and the rules of the river.

2 Day Outdoor First Aid course

Southampton | Sat 19th & Sun 20th September | £165

https://www.riverhambleadventures.com/information-sheet-first-aid/

River Hamble Adventures will be running a two day First Aid course in Southampton on the weekend of 19th and 20th September.

This will be a recognised course, so will tick the PaddleUK box but will also be delivered by someone with decades of real life experience - in other words concentrating on what actually works, with plenty of time to practice.

The price of £165 also includes an (optional) evening paddle on the beautiful River Hamble and there are camping options nearby if anyone wants to stay down for the weekend.

Intermediate Paddleboarding

A big thanks to everyone who came down to Swanwick for the Intermediate Paddleboarding session on Saturday.

We had a bit of wind - but actually for an Intermediate session that was perfect. Paddling into the wind forces you to paddle well (at least if we were to make any progress ) !

We covered effective forward paddling, turning using bow rudders and how to paddle without needing to swap sides. As well as some river knowledge like when you need a permit and the rules of the river.

Our next Intermediate Paddleboarding session is on Saturday 19th September at 1.30pm. For more information please see the link below, email [email protected] or call/whatsapp 07815 141835

Team building

A big thank you to Sam and his team for coming down to Swanwick for a team building exercise last week.

With 10 paddleboards and several kayaks available we were able to get everyone on the water for a couple of hours for before they headed off for a social at a local restaurant.

With bespoke sessions such as this, we can design the session for you. Whether it's more games, or more challenges, a shorter or longer session.

And we arrange the session at a time and venue that lines up with an evening or lunchtime social.
