These are our regular meet up’s, great fun to paddle with others with an interest in SUP’ing, build up your confidence and learn to improve your skills with top tips from our coaches. We also focus on how and where best to paddle safely in and around Cardiff Bay and the local rivers.
The nights/meet up’s include:
- Advanced SUP techniques from qualified instructors
- Growing your skills and confidence to paddle on Cardiff Bay and the local Rivers
- Open water and river paddles, exploring some of the best areas of South Wales on a SUP
- Fun and chat – it’s a social paddle and regular meet up helping you improve in a safe and relaxed atmosphere

Experience wise, we welcome paddlers of all abilities and speeds but you will need to have completed our Introduction to SUP course or equivalent SUP course with an authorised WSA teaching body before paddling with the club.
Your first social session is a ‘free’ taster session (you only need to pay £5 booking fee). Thereafter, you need to join the club. It’s £50 but covers your launch fees from Channel View for 12 months, whether you just paddle with the club or go out on your own – normally, members of the public would have to pay a fee each time they launched from the leisure centre. Click the link below to join the club: https://www.southwalespaddleboarding.co.uk/join/
We now meet at 18:00 outside The Deck Restaurant, Penarth Marina or Channel View. Parking is available on site and nearby. Please make sure you pay and display when parking. After paddling we’ll head straight to The Deck for food and drinks! Occasionally we will also paddle on the weekends too!
If this is your first time paddling with us, we will need you to fill out the relevant forms on our forms page. These will be automatically emailed to us.
We cater to 16+ paddlers.
In any case, click on the link below to book your place and pay for your paddle. We have put all the administration online so that we maximise your time in the water rather than hanging around filling out forms before your session. Any queries, then please email [email protected], call us 9-5 Monday to Saturday on 02920 711946 or for post 5pm serious problems (can’t find us, last minute cancellations etc), then ring Jim on 07970 420998.
