Paddleboarding Introduction and Kew Bridge Trip for Two
Overview
Have a go at one of the UK's fastest emerging watersports and go paddleboarding on the famous River Thames, under the arches of Kew Bridge. Ideal for a couple of daredevils who aren't afraid to get wet, get to grips with all the essential paddleboarding basics with tuition from a friendly, experienced instructor. Start with a safety briefing, before learning board handling techniques, self-rescue, foot position, standing up and board control. When you've both gained some confidence, take a short trip heading to either Hammersmith or Richmond (depending on the tide), taking in some of the beautiful sights of the famous waterway. Some food outlets on the route even offer discounts to paddlers, what's not to love?
