Stand up Paddle boarding Lessons, Tours and Clinics

However you like to learn, we have the perfect SUP lesson for you

Carbis Bay beach is the perfect location for Stand Up Paddle boarding (SUP). We offer taster lessons as part of our SUPwise approved programme plus, guided tours in Carbis Bay.

Whatever your Stand Up Paddle board ambitions our private and group lessons will quickly get you up and riding and improve your skills. Get exactly what you want by having either a private group, one to one lesson or lower the cost and meet new people by joining in on one of our group lessons running daily throughout the summer season.

If seeing the coast is more your thing then why not try our guided SUP Tour of St’Ives bay – its perfect for families, friends and groups to get out on the water at your own pace – exploring the coast as well as discovering some of the basics of paddling a SUP. Alternatively, if loafing, floating and laughing your socks off is more your pace then our legendary Mega SUP, an 8 person paddle board, will be just the ticket. Feeling a little more competitive? Hire both of our Megg-SUP’s and the race is on!

The Ocean Sports Centre is the UK leader in developing progressive ocean skills and technique; our bespoke Ocean Sports SUP Clinic’s are a great  way to hone your skills in the company of like-minded people.

Stand Up Paddleboard Hire

SUP, or stand up paddle board, is an extremely social way to enjoy the ocean. Unlike surfing, learning to stand up can take minutes and gives paddlers a unique perspective out on the water allowing you to see deep through the water and coves.

Please be aware that for your safety that, on occasion, age restrictions can apply. All hire under 12yrs must be supervised by an adult.
