About Us

Hello, India & Joshua here ๐Ÿ‘‹

Our aim is to inspire people of all ages and abilities to paddle, and enjoy our local waterways as much as we do.

What we do

We are the very proud founders of Paddle Up UK. We teach stand up paddle boarding (SUP) and deliver the British Canoeing (Paddle UK) Awards. We offer group sessions and private tuition on the non-tidal stretch of the River Thames in Shepperton/Weybridge/Chertsey, Surrey.

We also provide exciting SUP experiences all over the UK from day trips to weekend retreats. With small group sizes and an emphasis on having fun outdoors, our SUP experiences are an opportunity for you to meet new people and explore new waterways.  

We also run a not for profit social club, learn more about that here.  

Our aim is to support paddlers accessing the world of SUP. As British Canoeing SUP coaches we hope to inspire, encourage, and guide people of all diversities and backgrounds by creating a safe and enjoyable space to learn and explore.

Whether youโ€™re looking to improve your SUP skills, or youโ€™re giving paddle boarding a go for the first time, we have you covered with instructor led sessions suitable for all ages and abilities. 

If youโ€™re in the market for a paddle board and youโ€™d like advise, please get in touch.

โ€œPaddle Up was a great experience. India & Josh weโ€™re very knowledgeable, accommodating and made the two hour lesson very enjoyable. If you want to learn how to Paddle Board safely on the water, I would definitely recommend Paddle Upโ€
