Stand-Up Paddle boarding is the latest addition to our available activities. We have a number of SUP’s which can be hired out on an hourly basis, for £15 per hour, that will get you out onto the Reservoir.

If you want to go out together with some friends then contact us directly and we can arrange to have boards available with our group discount offer, when you book for 6 people you only pay for 4. To book this please contact our office directly by email or phone.

If you want to hire a SUP, you must be at least 12 years old and for anyone under 18 years old a parent or guardian must stay on site to supervise. You can just turn up during office hours, however, we cannot guarantee that a board will be available for you as we work on a first come first serve basis, unless you have per book a group set of boards.

For beginners we offer a one-hour introductory session at a cost of £20 per person, which you must be at least 18 years to take part in, but this class is not compulsory to hire a board, you can just hire.

Our currently scheduled sessions are:

Monday Night Paddle Club

We run a Monday evening Paddle Club from 17:00 until dusk and this is a great opportunity for you and friends to meet like minded people after work once a week. We then open the bar afterwards for a cold drink on our balcony over looking the water, this is for anyone 18 years and older and to book your board please see the dates below.

The price for hiring a club board has been reduced from £15 to only £10.

If you have your own paddle board there is no need to book just turn up and the access charge is only £5.

When you arrive all participants must come to reception to sign in and get the equipment and safety briefing even if you have your own equipment.

WHAT TO BRING

We can provide wetsuits, spray tops and Buoyancy Aids if needed. Please also make sure that you have a towel, swim suit for under the wetsuit, and footwear that you do not mind getting wet, old trainers or water shoes are preferred, no crocs, flip flops or sandals.

DIRECTIONS 

There is free parking inside the gates off Icknield Port Road – look for the Midland Sailing Club sign at the road.  Put “B16 0AA” into your satnav or search for “Midland Sailing Club”.  We also have places to lock up bikes if needed.  

Come through the second gates next to the water and you will see a reception desk 20 metres up on the right.  Hand sanitiser is provided at the desk and we ask that you use it when you arrive.

Please arrive 15 minutes early on the first day, to give you time to check in at reception and get all the equipment that you will need for the course.

FOOD & DRINKS

There is a café & Bar on site that is open during office hours and we have hot & cold drinks as well as a range of snacks that can be purchased at a good price. We have plenty of seating inside or outside to enjoy the weather with friends and family.
