Great fun, easy to get the hang of and the best way to glide gently across the water.
Go on a paddle board and explore Scarborough\'s beautiful coastline and be ready to love the sensation of moving quietly across the water under your own steam, with just a board and a paddle to carry you.
Stand up paddle boarding is THE new sport to try. One of the best things is that anyone can get a taste of being out in the middle of the sea on a paddle board. You don\'t need to be super sporty or super fit to enjoy it and in fact, we are sure you\'ll feel really rather pleased with yourself with what you\'ve achieved by the end of the day.
These taster sessions on a paddle board take place on Scarborough\'s North Bay. There is an amazing oasis of calm and wildlife to see along the coast line.
Similarly, all the gear needed to get out paddling in Scarborough is included too. You\'ll be given a board, squeeze yourself into a wetsuit and buoyancy aid, then be measured up for the right length of paddle (this is essential as it\'s your only means of propelling yourself on the sea!). Kit on, there\'s a land-side briefing where one of the staff will show you how to carry the gear at the water\'s edge.
In fact, it\'s quite hard to fall in, as the board is very stable (they are much longer and wider than surf boards) and you don\'t really go anywhere unless you actually put the paddle to water, making it a very controlled outing for nervous beginners. Once confidence builds during your taster session, you\'ll feel at ease on the paddle board and find yourself gracefully moving up and down the bay.
