Paddleboarding in Cornwall

We provide quality winter weight wetsuits to keep you nice and toasty out of season and shorties for Summer. We have an excellent range of SUP boards for all different sizes and ages.

Yes you can – shorty wetsuits are fine during the summer months. We advise wearing a full length wetsuit with a thickness that is appropriate for the time of year for October to end of May. If you have your own wetsuit please bring it with you.

Most of our lessons take place on the Camel estuary in Padstow with the meeting point being , Porthilly View, Padstow, PL28 8DH. We have a trailer parked in a small layby in this residential area. Please meet us there 30 mins prior to your lesson start time. Parking is limited. Please do not be late as we have strict timings to adhere too. We will provide boards, wetsuits and buoyancy aids.  If you have your own wetsuit you are welcome to bring it. If you need to use one of ours we will need your clothes size in advance.

All sessions are 1.5 hrs including your safety talk.. We ask that you check in 30 mins before your session start time so we can kit you out. If paddling on one of our adventure tours you may need to allow a minimum of 3hrs due to travelling time to locations.

This varies depending on tide times. Please click on the book now link to check on start times and availability.
