My husband and I have wanted to try SUP for some time, and were lucky enough to choose TJ Boardhire. We had a fantastic two hours tuition along the Chichester canal - really beautiful and under Gemma’s patient tuition we were quickly standing up and learning different paddle strokes and stances. Tony and Gemma are a great team and we’re already adjusting our diaries to get another session in. We’re converts and I see paddle boards in our future. Book a session with them, you won’t regret it.

I booked this a little last minute and Tony and Gemma were great and very responsive which made it very easy to organise. We rented boards for a few hours and paddled up to Chichester where we stopped at a cafe for coffee and cake before heading back. We had a great time, it was something different to do and good fun!

We took part in one of Tony & Gemma's Intro Paddle Boarding session and so glad we did!!

Firstly they use the perfect location at Chichester Canal, you get calm safe waters to learn in and some great views.

All the kit is provided so we just had to turn up and after an initial briefing and explanation of the basics, we were on the water. Tony and Gemma do a fantastic job of supporting everyone and teaching all of us.

This was also evident because within 10 minutes they'd coached all of us to get on the boards and before we knew it, everyone was stood up. Throughout the time on the water, they teach more of the skills needed to get to grips with paddle boarding.

Everyone learns at their own pace in a great relaxed atmosphere, with Tony and Gemma giving a mix of group instruction and small 1:1 tips as you paddle your way along the canal.

Would highly recommend Tony, Gemma and TJ Board Hire for anyone looking to experience paddle boarding, you will not be disappointed! Really looking forward to our next paddle board session.
