Testimonials

“As someone who was previously apprehensive of water sports I was amazed at how quickly we were able to progress. This was due to the expert tuition provided by Jock and Tony. They progress the sessions at the correct speed so that you always feel safe, yet challenged and they provide individual feedback so that you are able to improve your technique. SUP is both fun and physiologically beneficial. It really works on your core stability and muscular endurance. I took my colleagues SUP and it was a great team building exercise for us. It was my first time Stand Up Paddle Boarding but it won’t be my last. ”

“Stand UP Paddleboarding is one of those sports that everyone wants to try these days. It is far more accessible than traditional surfing ( you can get up and go in a relatively short time ) and can be enjoyed in more places ( lakes, rivers) and weather conditions than some other water sports. It is also extremely rewarding and a great aerobic workout. There’s a little something else as well, something unfathomable, which stokes the soul through the sport’s motions.

Anyway, I had a sort of quickie intro lesson for Stand UP Paddleboarding from Jock Paterson of Tribal Wave the other day. I had, prior to that spent but a few minutes on a stand up paddleboard, falling off as often as not. I learnt some good tips for a newbie like myself – like getting a bit of speed up on your knees before standing up ( momentum is a great helper on these boards ) and not looking at my feet ( I seem to have some sort of foot fetish and dont appear to be able to keep my eyes off my feet. ) , soon I was stuttering along. There was a bit of wind and a bit of ripple which hampered my smooth running but I felt I was getting the hang of it and look forward to next popping out when the weather is right.”
