SUP with your Pup sessions are a fun-packed way to take to the water with your dog and learn a new skill with your ‘best friend’.
As an experienced paddler, introducing your pup to the SUP and equipment during these sessions is the most important part of the process. You will need a buoyancy aid for your dog and it is a good idea to get them used to wearing it before the session. Once your pup is comfortable with the board on land, it is time for you to take to the water and adventure together…
Feel like you need a little more assistance with getting your Pup on board? Book a One to One or Private Lesson and let us know that you want it as a SUP with your Pup session.
