teach yourself, get on youtube get the basics and enjoy.

Hey Lilly,

I think is worth having a lesson or two to start out. You'll learn all the basics and good technique which will help build your confidence. Then get out on the water as much as you can and chat to any other SUPers you see, as ET said we are a friendly lot and it's always great to see newbies getting hooked :-)
If your interested in lessons in Brissie definitely check out BrisKites in Brighton, Jason runs the lessons and he knows his stufff. Also check out the Facebook group Brisbane SUP Paddlers. There are usually group paddles organised every weekend somewhere around Brissie.

Look forward to seeing you out on the water :-)

Hi Guys.

For a while now I've been interested in paddle boarding. Looks like so much fun!

I've had the odd chat to a couple of paddle boarders and all have recommended that I have some lessons first.

Which leads me to my question.

Does anyone know of any decent instructors on the north side of Brisbane? Is there such a thing as qualified SUP instructors, or is that not so common?

I realize that I could probably do a quick Google search but I was hoping to have some personal experiences and recommendations.

Thanks
Lilly

Jason at BrisKites - google his website join our Facebook page. He does great lessons at one of redcliffes beaches with very valuable advice on all things sup

I agree with AndY, Jason at BrisKites is great or if you set ever down Gold Coast I personally recommend Roar Industries.
