No doubt you will have seen the pictures on our Facebook and Instagram pages of people, all sorts of people, having fun on their paddle boards. You may also have read some of our blogs about our recent SUP club socials and safaris. We are an active community of paddle boarders who want to explore our environment, the waterways near and far.
We are a growing family. A diverse group with differing abilities and levels of experience. Some of us like exploring the back waterways, finding new places to paddle. Some like to paddle for fitness, competing in nationwide race or endurance paddling events. We have a group who are passionate about SUP Polo. Others just like to relax, and drift on the current, before paddling for home. We are all Dittons Paddle Boarders. The great thing about being part of our SUP club is that there’s always someone to paddle somewhere with – we never leave anyone behind on our club activities – our more experienced members love to share their knowledge with newcomers, so joining the socials/safaris is a great way to find out about local paddling routes and increase your knowledge and skills whilst out having fun on the water and making new friends.
Outside of the official club activities, our members also arrange many ad hoc peer paddles.
We offer training through our coaching partners, for those who would like it, at a discount.
We organise safaris, with other clubs, to less local waterways.
We have regular social evenings in The Prince of Wales, in Hampton Court and often end our regular club social paddles with refreshments in pubs around Kingston, Weybridge, Pyrford and Guildford.
We have fun, get fit, and make friends along the way.
