Paddleboarding
The easiest way onto the water. Calm mornings on the marine lake are made for stand up paddleboarding, and the lake is shallow enough to stand up wherever you fall in.
Ways to paddle.
Board, paddle, wetsuit and buoyancy aid included on every session.
SUP taster
A relaxed first session with an instructor. Most people are standing within the hour.

Why paddle here.
- Calm water
- No tide, no swell and no boat traffic. Just flat water behind the wall.
- Good for families
- Shallow and enclosed, so it’s a great first time on the water for children and adults together.
- Your own board
- Got your own SUP? A lake membership gets you on the water all year, with changing rooms and hot showers.
Good to know.
Do I need to be a strong swimmer?
No. You don’t need to be especially fit or a strong swimmer to have a go at paddleboarding or a taster session. You’ll wear a buoyancy aid, and the lake is shallow.
Can children paddleboard?
Yes. Tasters are a great family activity. Ask us about the right age for your child.
Can I bring my own board?
Yes, with a lake membership or a day launch pass.
