ABOUT THE PROGRESSION COURSES

We are excited to launch the world first personal progression programme purely for stand up paddleboarders and to focus on their specific needs. The programme has been directly developed from Sian Sykes personal SUP experiences, which reflects a real world of necessary skills development which she has refined over the years. We are proud to have developed a skills scheme to help and to encourage paddlers to develop new skills and to gain confidence during their SUP career. The ultimate aim of this skills course progression is to give people the skills to enjoy playing, journeying and even travel to remote areas while being mindful of the responsibility and the potential consequences and impact we have on our world.
