About

We are happy to be an approved and affiliated BSUPA school. SUPsects chief instructor Elisa certainly knows how to teach, having qualified as a post-graduate (PGCE) teacher in 1997 she remains fully DBS checked. Formerly an accomplished horsewoman and competitor, El started stand-up paddleboarding as an alternative to equestrianism in the early days of British SUP and hasnt looked back since! Its hard to believe these days, but initially El was quite wary of the water - which gives her great empathy with many of our more nervous students - and having tried windsurfing, surfing and sailing with some success she certainly wouldnt then have described herself as a waterbaby! But SUP proved a perfect fit as it offered a far less intimidating and much more controllable route into watersports, and within her first summer of paddling El had completely banished any fears and was loving life on the water.
