Paddlerboarding the river Gannel in Newquay, Cornwall
Join us and enjoy an incredible trip through one of the best SUP locations in the country. The Gannel is a beautiful, flat-water tidal estuary which offers perfect paddling conditions in stunningly beautiful surroundings. We are the ONLY centre who can launch straight from Crantock Beach to explore the whole of this amazing estuary.
Our Stand-Up-Paddleboard (SUP) Tours offer so much more than a basic lesson. You'll learn the correct techniques from our top instructors whilst seeing the scenery, wildlife and historical features that the Gannel has to offer. If the conditions allow then we'll even head out into the bay to explore the amazing caves and scenery.
All equipment and tuition included, we go at your pace and can cater for all ages. For a different experience check out our Monster SUP Tours for up to 10 people.
