In association with Beau Nixon from Travel With A Paddle, SUPboarder are hosting their first Coaching Clinic on the 2nd and 3rd of July on the Rame Peninsula, Cornwall. You will be able to paddle with the SUPboarder experts, improve your skills across a range of SUP disciplines and meet like minded people to chat everything SUP.
What should you expect from this weekend?
This SUP Skills Coaching Clinic is designed to improve your SUP technique and enhance your overall performance on the water.
We’ll be capitalising on the conditions and switching up SUP disciplines based on the weather. If it’s calm, you’ll work on your board skills, touring, or race technique. If there’s waves, you will be hitting the surf and if it’s windy, you’ll be doing a downwinder.
The Skills Clinic aims to help you become a better all-round paddler. Beau Nixon will be tailoring the sessions to suit your skill level, goals and aspirations, so even if you haven’t tried all of the disciplines on the list, you will always be learning and progressing.
• We will be conducting video analysis which is a fantastic coaching tool as it allows you to see yourself paddling and make the necessary adjustments to your technique as highlighted by your coach.
• There will be ‘open time’ where we can discuss any of your questions about equipment, technique, etc and we will provide our honest, impartial advice.
• Get to use some different equipment during the weekend as we provide a small selection of different SUPs for you to use.
• Benefit from personalised coaching plans which you can refer back to after the Clinic to make sure you’re continually improving.
If you’re feeling a bit stale in your progression, need some expert coaching or want to learn from the best, this SUP Coaching Skills Clinic is for you.

Paddle around towering cliffs, experience tidal estuaries and spend time nearby the ocean city of Plymouth with its rich history.

Love the idea but already committed that weekend. Any chance of other dates?
Hi Vic! Thanks for your interest. We are lining up some more dates for the Autumn which will come to hand in the near future. We realise there’s a lot of SUP races over this summer and it clashes with some events and other schedules, but there will be more!
