Well done to our second batch of local young leaders who have qualified as SUP instructors after two intense days in the heat. Well done 👏

Thats another 4 SUP Instructors that have completed their Paddle UK course and can now start the process of putting it into practice with real learners. Under the supervision of Weymouth Outdoor Education Center staff.

Litton Lakes has been an amazing venue for this series of courses. I'm sure that we will be back.
