    This first taster session shows you:
    board transport and handling skills;
    different paddling techniques;
    foot placement and stance;
    basic and fast turning;
    rough water paddling technique;
    balance exercises;
    and rescue techniques.

    This session is for those wanting an easy 1st step into SUP and is for a maximum of 2 people. You will leave the lesson with enough skills to confidently handle a board on flat water. The entire lesson is conducted in calm, flat waters as it is important to focus on the important elements of board, paddle and stroke.  As a beginner, you can never get enough flat water time - the more you paddle the better you get! (SUP does require a basic fitness level.)

    This is for those that have the basic skills on flat water. The lesson covers:
    rip currents;
    handling the board in waves;
    paddling over unbroken and broken waves;
    bailing out safely;
    wave selection;
    catching waves;
    and using the paddle whilst surfing.  
  3. SUP Tours. 2 hours £40
    This is for those that have done the flat water paddling course or have enough ability to paddle in open water. We can get you closer than you’ll probably have ever been to various marine life which can include basking sharks (toothless, don’t worry!) dolphins, porpoises, seals, gannets etc on these adventures around the coastline of Tiree. The boards are so silent compared with boats it is possible to get amazingly close without scaring the wildlife away. It’s well worth bringing a waterproof camera for these trips. I only run these on calmer days so it is weather permitting.
