sup surfing lesson in west sussex
We’ve got a real love for sup surfing as it opens the doors to so much more than just flat water paddling, whilst being easy to learn safely.
Our home spots of Bracklesham, West Wittering and Hayling Island offer up some great conditions for total beginner to improver levels, after which we head down to Devon or Cornwall, for our more advanced clinics.
The SUP Surfing lessons we run, break down into Beginner | Improver | Advanced, with each session allowing a smooth progression, bringing forward what you’ve learnt in previous lessons.

beginner sup surfing lessons
For those of you looking to try sup surfing for the first time, this is the perfect lesson and location and only 1.5 hours from London.
Let’s be totally honest that the first few waves are always the best and our introduction to sup surfing is designed to get beginners moving around waves, recognising the risks and taking steps to catching a few baby waves and starting to turn.
It’s totally addictive and you’re going to go away begging for more. But there’s a long way to go, so get ready to put the practice in.
We run these lessons all year round and pick the best days to run them, so you get the most from your session.
Group size: 1 - 6 ppl
advanced surfing lessons
After you’ve spent time practicing, we can help you move on and push yourself with more dynamic movements and conditions.
For some of our clients, they join us for a few sessions over a weekend, so they can come build the mojo and keep the flow going.
We sometimes do weekend trips to Devon or make the short trip to Hayling Island and coach from there, but mostly we run our session from Bracklesham, West Sussex.
Our advanced sup surfing lessons focus on the rider being more dynamic and bringing in fast turns, using your paddle effectively, using the rail and moving around on the board. You’ll also start reading the waves more and making better choices.
The lessons run throughout the year, based on conditions and will mostly be on weekend due to peoples calendars.

helpful information
Learn more about where we teach and what our clients often ask about our sup surfing lessons.
where do we go paddleboard surfing
Bracklesham Bay offers an excellent south coast option.
Most people coming to us to try sup surfing, have had time on their isups before hand, so they’re already capable at basic paddling.
We’re not expecting amazing skills and the conditions in Bracklesham are very easy, so you’ll be ok on your isup to start with. Sometimes Hayling Island has a better wave so we may move there to enjoy a cleaner session.
Being so close to London, Surrey, Kent and other major areas, most of you will be coming down for a day or two, so we can put you in touch with local B&Bs that will put you in the right place.
faqs
How do you book a surf sup paddleboard lesson?
Let’s chat first, find out what you want to achieve, then we can sort out a plan. We will look for weather windows that work and go from there.
How old do you need to be?
Anyone can sup surf, and we take people from 13+ yrs old.
How long are sup surf lessons?
We run lessons for approximately 3 hours.
Do i need to be super fit?
Anything sporty requires a basic level of fitness. We take breaks during the session so nobody is going to get beaten down and exhausted.
Can i bring a raceboard?
Yes. If you want to learn to surf a raceboard for those beach races, we can help.
How many surf lessons do I need?
Once you’ve got the fundamentals, you need to head home, buy a proper surf sup and get on the waves. That’s where you really develop. You can always come back to drill some more skills and techniques, but there’s no point until you’ve had a good time on a board.
Do you provide proper surf sups?
We can only provide inflatable sups to get the basics. If you have a proper surf sup, bring it along.
What if the weather/tide isn’t suitable?
If it is going to be too windy, we will need to reschedule. No refunds given, just a rebooking. Same goes for the tide as we’re in the harbour.
Do you need to be able to swim to be safe in the sea?
Yes, about 50 mtrs minimum.
