Stand Up Paddleboarding
Paddleboarding 2009.
The river rolls in its rocky bed,
My paddle is plying its way ahead,
Dip, dip,
When the waters flip
In foam as over their breast we slip.
The Song My Paddle Sings ~ E. Pauline Johnson
You are invited to a board meeting with a difference this summer, as Stand Up Paddleboarding (SUP) is coming to the Cam courtesy of Scudamore's and Fen Paddle.
SUP is an exciting new water activity whose roots lie in traditional Hawaiian paddle-surfing (Ku Hoe He'e Nalu). Fortunately, SUP requires no waves and is much easier to learn than surfing; it simply involves standing on a long super-stable board and propelling yourself using a long-bladed paddle. What could be simpler?
On Monday afternoons and all day on Fridays over the school holidays we are offering you the chance to experience this gentle, yet invigorating, activity for yourselves, with tutored guided trips on the Top River. As well as nurturing core strength and general fitness it is great fun, and suitable for people of all ages. No prior experience is necessary, as you will receive full instruction.
There are 4 tour departure times on Mondays and 8 departure times on Fridays. Tours last 50 minutes and depart from our Mill Lane Boatyard. Public tour tickets are available on the day, or in advance by phone (Bookings Office: 01223 359750). Advance purchase is strongly recommended as these tours are anticipated to be popular and the maximum tour group size is restricted to 4 persons.
We are also offering brief free "taster" sessions on Monday evenings between 18:30 and 20:00, so why not come and see us to unwind on the water after a hard day at work?
