Great fun and very informative and Patient tuition from a friendly instructor. Lovely river to hone skills on and get some basics embedded

Wow what an experience. Considering first time doing this plenty of time on the water to enjoy your new skills. Alex is fab, lovely welcome and friendly and fun throughout your time there, explains everything well and is always on stand by to assist. We had loads of time on the water and Alex fills you with so much confidence and technics that you are up and running in no time. We just had the best time and would love to rebook to experience the Safari now. 10 out of 10 experience

A brilliant 1-1 session with Alex. Felt slightly anxious on arrival, but Alex's warm welcome and sense of humour immediately put me at ease. I'm not a complete beginner - but had lost a little confidence on the water and wanted to improve my paddle technique as I'd never had a formal lesson before. We went back to basics and I learnt some new skills. We had an enjoyable paddle on a beautiful calm stretch of the River Avon which is a perfect setting for beginners. If you are looking for a beginner or improver lesson with a great coach, I would highly recommend booking. Wittering SUP is the perfect place to learn and gain confidence on the water safely.

I was very nervous my husband thought I was going to get back in the car, but Alex introduced herself and put me at ease. She is so good and got me standing really quick I also learned how to manoeuvre the paddleboard. Self Rescue is very hard for me but im not giving up , Roll on next week

I am just starting out SUP racing and having managed without learning how to do a step-back turn before, I found myself struggling on a new rigid board. Alex broke down the movement really clearly and I was quickly getting the hang of it. Lots of great advice and feedback on how to improve going forward. The location was perfect. Deep, clear water meaning falling in (which I did my fair share of) was not an issue. We had a lot of fun, and it massively improved my confidence moving around the board. I can't wait to get back out to practice again.

James and Alex were incredible. They explained everything really well, made everyone feel comfortable regardless of level of experience! Definitely an experience to come back to!

Alex was a brilliant teacher and I was up and boarding far more quickly than I expected. The section of the river Avon where they are based is absolutely beautiful - so tranquil and calm. I would recommend Wittering Sup to everyone - a really enjoyable way to learn a new skill, relax and connect with nature whilst also gently challenging yourself.

We spent a lovely evening on the river with Alex, who is such a good instructor! It was my second paddle with her and my husband’s first ever paddle. It was chilled and relaxed and Alex knew exactly how to make sure that each of us were challenged to the right kind of level! Highly recommended!

Another excellent morning with Wittering SUP. Alex and James are excellent teachers, giving great instruction in a fun way. It gives you the confidence to get out on the river. The location is excellent, a beautiful and very quiet spot on the Avon river. Cannot think of one reason not to go back again
