LEARN TO STAND UP PADDLE BOARDWITH DITTONS PADDLE BOARDING

We offer Paddle Boarding lessons from our training base at The Albany, Thames Ditton, Surrey, on a beautiful stretch of the non-tidal River Thames, right near Hampton Court Palace.

We provide lessons suitable for both complete beginners and those that have paddled before and want to improve their skills.

Led by our Paddle UK fully qualified, insured and experienced coaches, we run public group sessions with a high coach to student ratio. Generally, four (max 6) students to a Coach and a Wrangler who helps with relaying the coaching and makes sure everyone is safe.  We also offer private one to one lessons and family/friends small group lessons.

Safety and fun are the watch words for all our sessions.

We want you to go away having learnt the basics about paddleboarding equipment, rules of the river and fundamental water safety themes. You’ll learn to control a paddle board, stand-up and self-rescue (if you want to). There’s absolutely no pressure – our coaches will teach you at your speed and be guided by your individual goals – as long as you’re having fun on the water with us safely then our job is done!

All equipment is provided, all you have to do is turn up!  If you have your own equipment, you are of course welcome to use it.

We also have availability for bespoke sessions to suit you – ideal for Birthdays, Hen/Stag activities and Corporate Team Building Events.

If your preferred time/date isn’t on our calendar, please email paddle@dpbclub.co or call/message us on 07547 917643 to discuss your desired experience and we’ll try our best to accommodate you.
