Paddleboarding Brighton

Paddleboarding Brighton

Paddleboarding in Brighton - take a big board stand up on it and paddle! The sheer simplicity of this watersport is what makes it so attractive to all ages and all walks of life as you can go for a gentle cruise ride the gnarly waves or even race them. These sessions will introduce you to and give you a good understanding of the sport.Both paddleboarding experiences take place at Brighton's Hove Lagoon. Of course you are more than likely to see paddleboarders out on the sea catching the swells but you will have your first taste on the shallow calm waters of the inland lake. This is ideal for learners as it's all about gaining confidence on the board and feeling stable - something that is a lot trickier on tidal water.So what do you need to be able to go paddleboarding along Brighton's lagoon? Well firstly there's the board. Usually between three and four metres long they have fins in the stern (that's the underside) to help you track through the water and often have non-slip padded decks. The other essential element is the paddle. It's paramount that you have the right size (usually a few inches taller than your height) so you can paddle easily whilst standing up straight. The Brighton-based team knows their stuff when it comes to paddleboarding and the instructors will make sure you've got the appropriate gear for your stature.The Taster paddleboarding session in Brighton gives you plenty of time out on those calm waters to be able to get a hang of the basics skills. You will start off kneeling and then make the big step up to actually standing on the board. This for us is the trickiest part but once you have overcome your fears you'll realise it actually feels really stable and youdon'tfeel as though you are about to topple off at any moment!After that it's all about simple paddle techniques turns and self rescue methods - all of which will be taught by the very capable and patient tutors here. If you opt for the extended Learn Paddleboarding Course you will enjoyfoursessions. The first session follows the basic taster course and then continues looking at more sophisticated paddling techniques and different styles of paddleboarding including racing surfing and touring - all of which can be done in and around Brighton.So why not grab your buoyancy aid and wetsuit and get ready for a spot of paddleboarding? Brighton is one of the best locations we've found for an introduction to this great sport giving beginners the chance to learn on safe waters whilst the white-capped waves of the sea give you all the encouragement you need to continue with the sport. And it's worth noting that on completion of the extended course you'll be awarded a BSUPA (British Stand Up Paddleboard Association) Ready to Ride certificate so you can hire the gear and get paddleboarding on Brighton's waters by yourself.
