SUP CONFIDENCE

Choose a specific issue to tackle, or, get help to gain confidence on your board overall.

A SUP Confidence session is a great follow up to a SUP Basics lesson. Often all you need to do to build confidence is spend more time on the water with the support of an instructor.

Alternatively, you may want to address a specific issue, e.g. how to deal with boat wake, how to paddle into a headwind, how to master turns etc.
