What Can I Expect

Lee Valley paddleboarding - where anyone can get out on the water! This superb location in Hertfordshire offers great value SUP sessions that are ideal for beginners.

With an array of excellent facilities and things to see and do on-site, Lee Valley is a fantastic place where you can easily spend the whole day. One of the most accessible sports on offer in terms of price, is stand up paddleboarding.

Everything you need to get you up and away paddling is included; that's to say helmet, buoyancy aid, paddle and board. You can also hire wetsuits on the day. All groups are assigned instructors and they will start you off with an on-shore briefing.

Once out on the crystal clear freshwater lake, it might take you a bit of time to get used to the feeling of floating on the water if you've never done any paddle sport before. But with the encouragement of the instructors keeping an eye out for you and your fellow paddlers, you'll soon be getting the hang of it.

And we have to say, the calmness of these inland waters really helps when it comes to taking your first strokes in paddle boarding. You might start off kneeling, but, as confidence builds, you'll move on to actually standing up on the board (hence the name!).

After that, it's just a joy to SUP around this Lee Valley lake. Kids as young as eight can paddleboard at this welcoming Hertfordshire venue. It's a great excuse for the grown ups to get involved too, as any under 12s will need to be accompanied by a participating adult.
