Paddle Up (Stand Up Paddle Board School & Club)

What a fabulous experience.From easy booking, through great communication to fantastic morning out.Very relaxed atmosphere which helped a lot with nervous student like me. Best introduction to paddle boarding, a lot of useful information, what to look out for. Very knowledgeable team. Highly recommended, will definitely be back.... next year, as sadly missed this season.

Myself and my 2 sons (aged 10 &13) had a superb session with India and Joshua, who were very patient with us and catered the session well to our varying levels of ability - my sons having more experience than me!Despite some protest from the boys about having an instructed session as opposed to 'freestyling' themselves, it turns out that this was not only necessary due to the rules of the rive, but also really good value as India and Joshua taught us all some new skills and tricks meaning we all left the session better paddle boarders than when we started.All in all a really great afternoon and we will definitely be back!

I attended my first ever group session at Egham Lake. India and Josh are amazing instructors, both were welcoming and friendly from the moment I arrived at the location.They were very thorough around safety (including in different conditions), engaged with our group to check the understanding and answered questions anyone had. They were accommodating to everyone's level of ability and offered full support throughout the session.I learned a lot, even though I fell in pretty early and had to be helped back on my board (lol), India made sure I am okay and patiently talked me through how to get back up.I spent most of the time kneeling, but nonetheless I had loads of fun and was being encouraged to get back up and keep trying.Overall, I rate my experience 10 out of 10 and can't wait for more lessons, so I can become confident and have fun.Thank you India and Josh! :)

Had the most amazing experience, taking part in a Sound Bath on a Paddle Board on the Thames. Wow thank you so much for something so different. Highly recommend. Thank you India Joshua and Susan from sacredsound777

Joshua and India were really helpful and easy to get along with. I had a one to one coaching session as i had some of the basics in place already. I learned alot in a short space of time. I hope i can remember it all and do them justice. The weather was a bit drafty but it was still a great afternoon. Thank you and hopefyully see you again soon.

My second time doing Paddleboard Yoga was so much fun. The combination of being on the river and yoga is so beneficial. I have already booked my next session and would recommend to anyone. In addition - Charlie, India and Josh are so lovely and re-assuring.Do it!

I had a great 1 to 1 lesson with India, it gave me the all info and confidence to set off on the river on my own. I'll certainly join an evening paddle session if I am able to too.

We had a brilliant introduction session with India and Josh, they're really friendly and super knowledgeable about the area and rules of engagement for paddle boarding. They educated us, helped us and answered all our questions. We can't wait to go back!

India , Joshua and SUP yoga teacher Charlie run a fun and welcoming place to SUP. I’m a member of the Paddle Up Social paddle club and regularly attend SUP yoga with Charlie. I’ve attended these sessions on my own and have been given support , kindness and advice and today Joshua even repaired my own iSUP for me as I had damaged it! The SUP social events are great fun and so far I have paddled as a group on the Wey and further up the Thames, sometimes including a cheeky drink in a pub.If you are thinking about trying out SUP then please do not hesitate to contact them - they have all different types of SUPs from children’s ones through to a MEGA sup for groups to use! The location is beautiful, just up from Shepperton lock and morning and evening yoga sessions are just pure bliss and leave you relaxed and de-stressed. Finally , Paddle Up take safety very seriously and are hosting a River Safety event in conjunction with the RNLI for all of the local community to attend. I cannot recommend Paddle Up enough !
