We have purchased specific equipment (and will continue to get more) to make our watersport sessions as accessible as possible. Why turn customers away? We’d rather have an honest […]

  • Do you make this Common Paddleboarding Mistake?

    Do you make this Common Paddleboarding Mistake?

    This is such a common mistake – partly due to not knowing, partly due to incorrect information on the internet, and partly down to confusion between different styles of paddles! The most common mistake I see when paddleboarding is related to how paddlers hold their paddle. Often this can be down to paddlers being new […]

    Fishing Failure? We check out Mumbles’ best alternatives for your fish BBQ!

    As anyone who has been fishing before will know, the ‘catching the fish’ bit doesn’t always go to plan… so after a day’s SUP Fishing with Outdoor Explore Wales (or fishing from the pier – but that’s definitely not as much fun!) we have come up with some alternatives if the pesky fish aren’t biting… […]

  • Just why is SUP so good for Mindfulness and your Headspace?

    So, just why is SUP so great for your headspace? Out on my guided paddleboard trips and during my tuition sessions I often find myself bringing up the topic of mindfulness and using the term ‘headspace’. This is all very well, but what am I going on about? Very simply put, mindfulness involves concentrating on […]

    Learn to SUP in Cardiff, South Wales

    If you want to learn to paddleboard in the Welsh capital, there are not many places better than Radyr weir on the river Taff in North Cardiff. The first use of a weir at Radyr (from the Welsh ‘Rhaeadr’, meaning waterfall) was by the Normans, as a fish trap. It has since been used to siphon water to feed the Melingriffith canal and is now used to provide hydroelectric power when the […]
