Our SUP board HIRE fleet is a range of Inflatable SUP boards from 9ft – 11’0ft these boards are rigid inflatables and are very durable so you won’t need to worry about damaging them. We can provide them to you deflated so they can be put in your car or readily inflated so that you can put them onto your roof ( you don’t need a roof rack and we’ll lend you some straps to tie them down)
If you take them deflated they will take 5-10 minutes to inflate
If you want to hire a Hard fibreglass board this is also available, but they are more cumbersome to transport and expensive to hire
Whats included..? The BOARD HIRE – Equipment included: board (pump and bag), paddle, leash & buoyancy aid
(roof rack straps can be supplied to secure the board down to your vehicle)

Rent ON a day with little or no wind.
• Start on your knees before you get to your feet, to get your confidence and balance.
• When standing up, make sure your toes are facing forwards, feet parallel and approx shoulder width apart.
• Stand up and paddle with straight arms looking forward not down at your feet.
• Avoid offshore winds – they will blow you far from shore.
• Check the tides – do you know how the currents and tides effect your location?
• Don’t paddle alone – stay safe and paddle with a friend (or make sure you tell others where you’re paddling).
• Start small to get your confidence in the waves, and avoid busy beaches
• Don’t use the board in surf until you are confident.
RESPECT
It is important with any new sport to show RESPECT and stay away from crowds and other surfers if in the waves – which is not hard when you can move around so easily. It is all about RESPECT and SUP etiquette!
PADDLING
Keep the top arm straight. Once you start bending your upper arm you will use too much power and paddle inefficiently. Apply longer more powerful strokes when gliding along and shorter higher frequency strokes when wanting to catch waves.Try to bend your knees when applying more power to your paddle stroke.
STANCE on the board
When you first start – go out from shore on your knees
KNEELING ON A SUP BOARD
When wanting to paddle in a straight line it is best to stand 90 degrees to the board (PRONE)

The ‘surf’ or offset stance is less stable so practice paddling with feet ‘offset’.
