Brighton

The Main Event

Step onto your board, find your balance, and glide along Brighton’s iconic coastline. This Stand-Up Paddle Boarding (SUP) experience is all about seeing the city from a whole new angle. With the seafront behind you and dramatic cliffs ahead, it’s the perfect mix of chilled-out vibes and fun on the water.

Starting from Brighton Marina, you’ll paddle east towards quieter, hidden stretches of shoreline. Total beginner? No problem. Friendly instructors will walk you through everything from setting up your board and paddling straight to steering and staying safe, so you can relax and enjoy the ride.

Of course, staying upright is half the fun, and wobbling is all part of the game. Fancy making things even more interesting? Try the optional “falling in” drills and SUP games that are guaranteed to get everyone laughing (and maybe a little wetter than planned).

Here’s what you’ll pick up:

How to stay safe on the water
Getting to grips with your SUP kit
Paddling and steering like a pro
Rescue techniques for peace of mind
Optional splashy challenges and confidence-boosting games

Whether you’re flying solo or coming with mates, this Brighton paddle boarding adventure is a brilliant way to spend the day. You’ll soak up stunning views, learn a new skill, and maybe even discover you’re better on water than on land!

What to Bring
Participants should come prepared with warm, waterproof clothing. A complete kit list will be provided upon booking, but here’s a general guide:

Full change of clothes for paddleboarding, including footwear and underlayers
Weather-appropriate clothing*
Waterproof jacket and trousers to wear on the water
Additional jumper or fleece
Hat (warm or sun-protective, depending on the season)
Gloves (optional)
Towel
Snacks and water
Any personal medication (e.g., inhalers, tablets)

The above is a general guide, and it’s recommended to dress suitably for the season. A dry bag is helpful for keeping items secure on the water and storing wet clothes afterward.

*Layered clothing is recommended to trap warmth. Denim should be avoided, as it restricts movement, feels cold when wet, and dries slowly. Footwear is required on the water, such as old trainers or plimsolls (please avoid sandals). While wetsuits aren’t necessary, you may bring one along with a warm top for extra comfort.
