Stand up Paddleboarding on the beautiful Thames at Richmond

Join our small group paddleboard (SUP) experience, and paddle on one of the most beautiful and safest stretches of the Thames, accompanied by one of our friendly and fully qualified coaches. Perfect for complete beginners, improvers looking to move to the next level, or experienced paddlers wanting to hone their paddle technique. There's no pressure and no judgement! Who is this for? Our lessons are open to paddlers of all abilities, from complete beginners, to those who have paddled many times before - we guarantee that everyone will learn something new and leave with a smile on their face - and a photo or two taken by our instructors! Children over 14 are welcome if they are accompanied on the water by a parent or legal guardian. Where will I paddle? You will be paddling round the hidden islands at Richmond and then upstream past historic Richmond Bridge towards Eel Pie Island and Teddington, with stunning views of open countryside and Richmond Hill.
