Lessons are a fantastic investment to start your love of SUP. I will help your confidence and get you from kneeling to standing. I will show you your paddle strokes and how to preserve energy while paddling to make your sessions more enjoyable. I’ll also teach you about the equipment and safety at sea for your onward SUP journey. Lessons are ideally held at sea but if conditions are not favourable (tides, weather and wind speed) we will use local enclosed waters.
You must be able to swim 50 metres unattended
Under 18 must be accompanied by an adult

About Me
I have worked for the NHS in the Emergency Services for over 13 years. I continue to do this but have recently reduced my hours so that I can teach Stand Up Paddleboarding (SUP).
What does ‘Paikea’ mean?
Paikea (pronounced Pi-Key-A) is a character from Maori legend who rode on the back of a whale. I learned about Paikea from the film ‘Whale Rider’ when I was travelling in New Zealand and fell in love with the story. (Paikea is also the Maori word for ‘humpbacked whale’.)
Feedback from my customers
Cathy took me from a complete beginner to a confident paddle-boarder in no time. Her patience and skill on the water were just what I needed!
