Stand Up Paddle Boarding Session

Stand Up Paddle boarding is really popular and we have the perfect sheltered spot for a fun experience. Tuition is provided by our two amazing qualified instructors who’ll get you standing up and paddling in no time.

Your amazing instructors:

A very warm welcome to SUP with Emma Love from Wotbikini Stand Up Paddleboarding. I specialise in supporting women in building confidence on the water, in a kind and supportive environment.

My own paddling journey started six years ago and at the age of 46 when I came across SUP for the first time at my local watersports centre in Nottingham. I just fell in love with the experience of being on the water! Six years later and I am now a qualified British Canoeing White Water SUP Coach– the only pure SUP paddler (no previous paddling experience in other craft) in the UK to have achieved this qualification and Flat Water Instructor. I write for SUPM UK, British Canoeing and have even been known to have done a few podcasts. In 2020 I was really honoured to join the British Canoeing #ShePaddles Ambassadors and in 2021 I joined the Californian Watersports Collective Ambassador Programme. As an Ambassador, my role is to encourage, support and celebrate women being on the water.

This year I have been working on setting up my very own SUP coaching and instructing business, www.wotbikinipaddleboarding.co.uk and was thrilled to launch this on the 1st July!

I hope you have a fabulous festival experience and please do come and say hello, ask questions and join us for stand up paddleboarding on the water!

I’m Emma and I’m passionate about Paddleboarding, canoeing and kayaking. I’m a canoe and kayak coach and provide fun SUP sessions for adults and children around the North. When I’m not out with my 5 year old son I’m usually found running some of our less gnarly white water rivers in a kayak or canoe and thanks to the other Emma I’m now enjoying the fun of SUP on white water.

Being out on the water is such an incredible feeling and has helped me heal mental scars from my past and so we’d love to show you how much fun it is out there and how it can brighten your mood instantly and boost self confidence.

Emma and I are very relaxed and really look forward to supporting you to have fun on the water so please come on down and join us for a session or pop by if you just want a chat.
