Stand Up Paddle Boarding Journey Down Bude Canal





Description
Stand Up Paddleboarding (or SUP as it is widely know) in Bude is a fantastic and fast growing sport to hit the water in the UK. The large surfboard style paddleboard creates a stable platform for you to stand on and the extra long canoe paddle makes it easy for you to motor around in only a few minutes. Stand Up Paddleboarding is less challenging than surfing which makes it an even more accessible for your family, friends and great as a large group activity.

Fantastic couple of hours learning how to paddle-board. James was a brilliant instructor and we were both standing-up before the end. My daughter and I loved it and will definitely be going again.
Really enjoyed our first paddleboarding experience on Bude canal. The guides were very friendly and helpful and would highly recommend! Beautiful weather and a fun trip for the family. Thank you freewave surf academy
Paddle boarding lesson with Glyn. Was great - me and my two kids were stood up and hooked in no time.
great paddleboards, available to hire, i was surprised to discover it was a self service thing. I was expecting to meet someone at the sup hire place. luckily another client had more experience than us and advised us which paddleboards we needed and how to secure the finns a waterproof bag was availble also, so i was able to keep my car keys and phone with me. really loved exploring the canal it was so relaxing and a great way to see more of bude. highly recommend.
Thank you :)
Hired the paddle boards to use along Bude canal, it was an easy booking system. Information for collecting and returning paddle boards was clear and easy to follow. Everyone enjoyed their time on the boards, would definitely use again when visiting Bude, and would highly recommend it to others!
Thank you for your review of our paddle board hire services in Bude.
Good instructor - James - very relaxed, personable and in control. A group 6 of similar age and skill worked well and all had foun . Great weather helped
Thank you :)
We booked a 2 hour lesson for hubby and son and at the same time a2 hour hour for me and my daughter as we have been before. Daughter and I pootled around and then we all went up the canal together. The guy from free wave, James, was lovely, very calm and patient. It was a lovely trip up the canal a bit breezy on the way back and at times our 8 had old was struggling to get back so James attached his their boards together and helped him back. Made him feel very relaxed about it all and he really enjoyed his first experience of paddleboarding.
The instructor was brilliant. Boards and paddles were supplied. We had a great time paddle boarding on the canal. Loads of fun. Definitely worth a go.
Great experience did this with my 15yr old son we both enjoyed it James the instructor was a great guy and made our experience enjoyable all the equipment was spot on and the canal was so peaceful
I have been wanting to try paddle boarding for some time and thought a lesson would be the best place to start. Our instructor gave a great introduction on the things to do and off we went. We thoroughly enjoyed our lesson and time on the canal and would highly recommend Freewave. 😊
