STAND UP PADDLE BOARDING
The perfect paddle-based activity suited to everyone.
Originating from Hawaii, SUP requires a paddle to propel you through the water on a large surf-like board. Paddleboarding around our 40-acre freshwater lake has been described as, “hugely relaxing” and a “serene experience”.
​
It’s a water sport that doesn’t require a huge amount of practice to get you going and can be enjoyed by everyone. A great compliment alongside one of our other more ‘adrenaline fueled activities’ to wind down, or a great steppingstone into the water sports world.

All our kayaks here at CWS are sit on top with single or double options, making them ideal for beginners and families, or for those wishing to be gently introduced into water sports. Our boats are both stable and easy to paddle, guaranteeing you a bit of fun. Also, there’s no need to worry about being trapped as they are not enclosed.
