SUP & Summit

Had my first SUP lesson yesterday. I was quite apprehensive- especially about falling in!Jo our instructor was very knowledgeable & experienced & made me feel relaxed - she gave encouragement and advised throughout.I thoroughly enjoyed myself once I’d got to grips with it, beautiful quiet setting & great company.If you’re thinking of going Stand up paddle boarding Id definitely recommend a lesson or 2 with Jo first … it’s not as easy as it looks!Thanks Jo x

I had a 'new to SUP' lesson with Jo earlier this year, and having never SUP'd before, and being a little nervous of water, Jo put me right at ease with her calm manner and clear instruction. The skills learnt during this lesson gave me the confidence to go out on my own board.Fast forward a few months, and having practised a bit on my own board, I booked an 'improver' lesson with Jo. The improver session covered more in depth techniques, advice for more efficient paddling, and especially relevant for myself, more ways to self-rescue which I had been struggling with and was something that was causing me a little anxiety. I now feel a lot more confident at getting back on the board. Thank you Jo!

I had a great lesson with Jo on the Dee, I'm not very experienced and have only paddleboarded on lakes. Jo is an excellent instructor, very knowledgeable about SUP and the river which really put me at ease and helped me enjoy the beautiful surroundings. She is also very safety focused which is brilliant and she was able to answer all my bizarre questions!! I've booked again and can't wait for the next one, thank you so much!!

What a brilliant session! I was apprehensive about paddleboarding but wanted to give it a go and Jo gave me the confidence I needed. She gave good advice on how to paddle, how to fall in, if required, and how to get back on again. I loved being out on the water and I wouldn't have done it without the expert tuition from Jo. I will definitely go again.

Had a fabulous SUP session with Jo today, felt very safe and looked after and has a great time! Delighted to have conquered my fears, will definitely be more confident next time - I can feel a new adventure coming on! Thanks Jo, highly recommended :-)

1st SUP lesson last Saturday.. I was a bit nervous but Jo believed in me and encouraged me the whole time .. Jo went through all the safety aspects and equipment before we hit the water. which I absolutely loved it.. loved the freedom and serenity of being in the middle of a river .. I felt totally safe as Jo is an excellent very thorough teacher and I can't wait to get out for my next SUP lesson

Fab weekend spent doing navigation training with Jo at sup and summit. Good clear teaching which we were then able to practise with Jo’s supervision and encouragement. The small group sessions meant we were able to go at our own pace and ensure we had thoroughly grasped everything. Now I feel equipped and confident to plan my own walking routes. Very informative and enjoyable. Would highly recommend.

I had a fantastic introductory session with Jo this morning on a SUP! Jo explained everything really clearly and patiently and I felt very relaxed with her teaching style and learnt loads! I’d recommend this session for anyone who might be considering paddle boarding. Jo explained all the safety aspects that I’d not really considered before this session. Feel a lot more confident to go out and explore the waterways after this session. Thank you so much!
