Why You Should Seize the Deal
Paddle Boarding is a versatile water sport that can be enjoyed by anyone, anywhere there is accessible water—whether as a peaceful, low-impact activity or a physically demanding workout, it's always great for the body. For beginners, flat water is ideal for learning, and this Centre, located on Decoy Lake just outside Newton Abbot near the A380, offers what may be the best venue in the South West for Stand Up Paddle Boarding. With no tides, currents, waves, or swell, learners benefit from calm, flat water largely unaffected by weather conditions. The Centre is equipped with modern gear, including wetsuits and buoyancy aids, and supported by enthusiastic, experienced watersports instructors. Facilities include centrally heated changing rooms and hot showers, adding to the comfort. Popular two-hour taster sessions (for ages 10+) cover foot positioning, stance, launching, landing, and paddle strokes, with sessions at 10:15 am and 3:00 pm (pre-booking required). Afterward, participants can hire tutors to practice or book further tuition. In addition to SUP, the Centre also offers training in windsurfing, canoeing, and kayaking, all in a scenic 12-acre freshwater lake set in a beautiful country park.
