SUP schools and coaching in New Zealand
If you’re looking for a SUP lesson or some coaching, we strongly recommend using an experienced and knowledgeable instructor wherever possible. While SUP is essentially a very safe sport, if it is not taught correctly using appropriate equipment, your experience is very likely to be less than pleasurable. There can be a world of difference between the teaching and safety practises of a professionally run paddleboarding school, and the ‘casual operator’ on a beach who has simply got themselves a couple of boards and has no formal training or qualifications whatsoever!
The following operators set out to deliver properly structured paddleboarding lessons and/or coaching on appropriate equipment, utilising proper safety practises.
Working with individuals, schools, and corporate groups, Social Nature Movement offers beginner SUP foundation courses, skills courses for youth and adults, SUP tours, SUP parties, Duke of Edinburgh Adventurous SUP journeys, Astronomical SUP adventures and SUP Coaching.
