So, what is paddleboarding? Paddleboarding is an offshoot of surfing in which a lighter, bigger board is used as a mode of transport rather than to play in surfing style waves. Many modern paddleboards are inflatable making them a great way to explore the waterways of the UK due to the ease with which they can be transported and stored. Paddleboarding can be done from lying, kneeling, and standing and normally it is a good idea to try it in this order when first learning to use a board! It is a quiet and serene way of getting out on the water something we love to teach here at Adventure 4 You.
Maybe the idea of going out on the waterways with no training is a daunting one, or maybe you want to try the sport before having to buy your own kit. At our site, you can come and play in our sheltered lake to learn the basics of how to use a board. With little to no current our small on-site, sheltered lake is a great place to cut your teeth in this exciting outdoor activity. With qualified and experienced instructors, you can come and learn how to use a paddle to steer and move your board under the correct supervision and instruction. We provide buoyancy aids, boards, paddles and depending on the session length and weather, wetsuits too. Our site is located just south of Towcester directly on the A5 making it accessible to people from the Milton Keynes, Northampton, and Towcester areas.
Either before or when you arrive you (or a parent or guardian for those who are under 18) will need to fill out a consent form. Apart from that, we suggest you bring a full change of clothes including a change of shoes and a towel. We can provide everything else for you.
Our real focus is on fun as we don’t believe learning is effective without it, hopefully, you will be grinning from ear to ear from the start to the finish of your session.
