Where to go for SUP instructor coaching and paddleboard lessons?
SUP instructor lessons are the best route – especially if you’re new to SUP. We always say getting a short lesson is the best start to your paddleboarding life. But it’s not always easy to find a SUP instructor or paddleboard coach near to you.
To find a qualified paddleboard instructor, you can start by checking with national paddle sport organizations which offer certification and training for instructors. In the UK, the UK Paddle Awarding Body provides a Paddlesport Instructor Level 1 qualification, designed for those looking to deliver safe and enjoyable taster/starter sessions in very sheltered water environments.
More info.
Additionally, the British Stand Up Paddle Association (BSUPA) And Academy of Surf Instructors (ASI) update a list of qualified stand up paddleboarding instructors, which can be a useful resource to find certified professionals. It’s also beneficial to visit local paddleboarding clubs or centers, as they often have certified instructors or can recommend qualified individuals.
Remember to ensure that the instructor has the necessary qualifications and experience, as well as a good understanding of safety and rescue techniques.
We have a number of paddleboard instructors that we trust and recommend, and these are shown on our ‘recommended by McConks’ maps.
