Taster sessions are a great way to find out if the sport is right for you before progressing to the BSUPA Ready to Ride course. Ready to ride If you’re ready to discover this amazing watersport, BSUPA offers an ace way to get clued-up and confident out on the water. You’ll learn all the necessary skills: paddling, turning, stance and even how to fall! As well as all of the benefits that come along with this course, you will also be entitled to join the SUP tours which run from the centre. Guided tours Paddlers are led and guided around beautiful Langstone Harbour, which is brimming with nature, wildlife, homing wild birds and seal colonies. The harbour, classified as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), makes for an enjoyable and interesting location to paddle.
