Paddleboarding (SUP) is one of the fastest-growing watersports in the UK, and we’re here to introduce you to the fun! Whether you’re curious about how it works, need some guidance to get started, or are unsure what equipment to buy, our Paddleboard Taster sessions cover everything. Our expert instructors will have you paddling confidently in no time! 

Even if you've tried SUP before but struggled, don't worry. With the ever growing popularity of SUP, there is an ever growing number of low quality and low performance boards hitting the market. For some people, this wont make any difference, but for a lot of people, the wrong board makes so much difference! We use high-quality 10’10 boards from the well respected brand Tiki, which maximise stability and buoyancy, making it easier to enjoy the sport.

Come and learn from some experts! (Not the Facebook kind!)

WHAT YOU'VE SAID

We went kayaking with a fella named Chris. He was awesome and a great tour guide. Very patient with us and gave us plenty of photo opps (gotta do it for the gram y’all) but really let us appreciate the view.

If you’re looking for a great place to kayak and want a fab tour guide who is patient but also a great instructor we’d def recommend him and will be coming back.

Big thank you to Kelvin for our kayaking lesson last week. Whilst the session was great fun (yes even the indelicate attempts practising getting back on our kayaks in deep water), Kelvin was really knowledgeable regarding safety and gave us a lot of tips and practical guidance to help keep us safe on the water. Looking forward to another session soon.

FAQ's

What's a private session?

A private session at Jurassic Watersports offers a personalised experience for you and your friends or family, with only your group participating. This is especially popular for families and stag/hen groups. It also provides greater flexibility regarding available sessions. Perfect if you are struggling to find the session you want, or if you want to ensure a more tailored, exclusive adventure!

What are the facilities?

All our paddlesport activities are now based at Knoll Beach in Studland. The National Trust site provides toilets and a café, but we recommend arriving ready to go, as it's a bit of a walk to the facilities if you need to change.

What do I need to bring?

Bring shoes to wear in the water, clothes you don’t mind getting wet, a towel, and a water bottle. If you wear contact lenses, it’s best to have a spare pair available to put in after your session. We also suggest you bring a waterproof jacket or windproof to keep the wind off.

For full details, check out the 'Joining Instructions' on the website!

Do I need to be a good swimmer?

You will be wearing a Buoyancy Aid at all times during coasteering, but being confident in the water helps. While non-swimmers can still participate in certain parts, some parts of the activity might be more challenging. For full details on the activity requirements, be sure to check the‘Joining Instructions’, or contact our team for a chat.

I haven't received confirmation?

Once you’ve booked, you’ll receive an automatic email with instructions. If you don’t see it, check your spam/junk folder. If you still can’t find it, contact us atinfo@jurassicwatersports.co.uk, and we’ll resend it. Technology can be tricky sometimes!

What are the times of your sessions?

Jurassic Watersports is open 7 days a week. If the available session times don't work for you, please contact the team on info@jurassicwatersports.co.uk and we will see what we can do for you. Typical session times are:

Taster Session times are:

10:00 - 11:00, 11:30 - 12:30, 13:30 - 14:30, 15:00 - 16:00

Is there a minimum and maximum group size?

Group sizes can vary, but typically, we aim for a smaller group of up to around 8 people. There are no strict minimum or maximum numbers, but sessions must remain cost-effective. (ie, we do need enough interest to make the session worthwhile.)

If you're looking for a smaller group, consider booking a Private Session for more tailored experiences.

What if it's raining?

While we try to avoid cancellations, we understand that the weather can sometimes be unpredictable. If a session is cancelled due to weather, we will work with you to reschedule at a time that's convenient for you. Remember, a bit of rain shouldn't spoil the adventure but 40mph winds just might!

Is there a minimum age?

Kayaking is physically demanding, and for open sessions, participants need to be at least 14 years old. However, we can arrange sessions for children aged 8-14 without issue, we just need you to get in touch first. We also require a minimum height of 138cm (4'6").


Jurassic Watersports is fully licensed by the HSE (AALA) to work with under-18s. For further details, please reach out to us directly.
