Tips For First Timers
Have a lesson. You will build invaluable skills from your very first go.
Join a club. If you go with a friend or a group, you’re more likely to continue throughout the year.
You don’t have to stop just because it’s winter. “There is nothing better than going for a paddle in the winter on a calm body of water and ending the session dry but exhilarated due to having a great workout!” says Gordon.
You’re never too old. Gordon told me a great story about a man in his 70s that lives near Newquay. He paddles from one town to the next on his inflatable stand-up paddle board, deflates it and jumps on the bus to go home!
You’ll see plenty of local wildlife. We saw a giant seal when we were out paddling. Sightings of dolphins and basking sharks is very common, particularly off the coast of Cornwall.
