What do you need to know about Stand-Up Paddle Boarding?

Simply; Stand-up paddle boarding is an outdoor water sports activity where a rider (you!) stands up on a large board and uses a paddle to move through the water. With its roots in surfing, it has recently blown up into the fastest growing part of paddlesport.

Based on Derwentwater, is the 'Jewel in the crown' for Stand Up Paddle Boarding in the Lakes. With its proximity to Keswick, the lake has numerous islands and beautiful bays to explore it is a stunning background for your stand up paddle boarding experience. With part of the lake a designated nature reserve there can be plenty of wild life around, so keep a watchful eye out for Otters, Kingfishers, Ospreys and other Lake Land wildlife as we cruise around the lake. 

Your instructor will help select the right paddleboard for you, from our selection of inflatable and rigid boards, along with sizing you up with the correct paddle, then we're off onto the lake. With some basic coaching and top tips, you will soon be getting the balance of the board, and putting the 'stand' into stand up paddleboarding! As we travel across the water, you will be given the opportunity to learn some harder skills, and various SUP board challenges for those who want them - getting wet is possible!

Breaking Down Barriers: Empowering Women to Participate in Adventure Triathlons

Breaking Down Barriers: Empowering Women to Participate in Adventure Triathlons

Looking at our Event stats over the years, we were pretty pleased to see the gender split has improved significantly from 30/70 in 2023 to 42/58 in 2024. However, we appreciate there is still more we can do to help break down barriers that may prevent women from attending our events and experiencing incredible adventures. We recognise that there is a huge amount of women out there itching to get on triathlons, hit the trails with their mates and experience the thrills of pushing yourself on an event. Equally, there are many factors that are at play when it comes to signing on the dotted line, getting to the start line... never mind, reaching the finish line! That is why we are pledging to do more than ever to create a welcoming, inclusive environment for all. We want more awesome women at our events absolutely rocking it and creating a positive cycle of inspiring other women to follow suit. Lets explore our journey and how we plan to do this...

Dealing with periods on an event

Dealing with periods on an event

Event Day is by default a challenge in itself – without the added complications of dealing with your period (aches and pains, hormones, and extra kit to contend with to name a few!). We are here to make the day as stress-free and enjoyable as possible and want every single person to come away from an event feeling elated from their experience... even when on their period! We are delving into elements we have considered to help make the event experience as comfortable as possible whilst on your period - more than simply adding chocolate to the fuel stations (although we appreciate that is a crucial step too!). As well as steps you might like to take to ease your comfort levels too.
