04/07/2026

Our Sup team have had a brilliant day today supporting the Louth Navigation Trust Austen Fen Slipway first anniversary celebration by providing Introduction to Stand up Paddleboarding sessions throughout the day.

It was wonderful to welcome brand new paddlers of all ages to the water (all of whom were fabulous) but a special mention goes to the littlest kids that had a go, they were fearless and inspiring to watch

Live music and refreshments were available throughout the day and it was once again a very enjoyable event.

Anyone who had a go at Sup today and would like to do more, or who is still to have their first go on a board youโ€™d be more than welcome to our Wednesday evening beginners Sup club at Covenham Resevoir.

Link to book below and more information is available in our club related posts.

**Join us on Wednesday evenings for Sup Club**

Last week we welcomed two beginners brand new to Sup who by the end of the session were standing, paddling, could self rescue, prone paddle, learnt the basics of turning and had a great time.

Our returning beginners practiced using the correct strokes and techniques for straight line paddling and tighter turning and it wonโ€™t be long till they achieve their Paddle Uk Start award

Meanwhile our more competent paddlers worked on developing various skills and also covered a few km of the reservoir

If you'd like this to be you then this is how...

- Book a place, and a board if needed using the following link (if you're bringing your own board don't forget your Paddle Uk membership number)


https://webcollect.org.uk/covenhamsc/category/stand-up-paddleboarding

- Come along to our next session on Wednesday 24th June 6.00pm

What happens on the evening...

- Meet at 6 for a briefing and to get kitted up to be on the water for 6.30. We'll provide you with all the kit you need or you're welcome to bring your own however please make sure anything you bring has been cleaned and dried since your last paddle.

- Youโ€™ll be paddling in a large, safe body of water guided by experienced coaches

- If you're experienced you'll have the opportunity to learn new skills, if you're a beginner we'll teach you everything you need to know to get started

**LEARN TO STAND-UP PADDLEBOARD AT COVENHAM SUP CLUB**

Emily joined us for SUP club for the first time in May. She already had her own board but hadn't mastered the basics of SUP (standing, paddling, turning and most importantly, self rescue) so decided to come along to learn these important skills. Under the guidance of our coaches and showing real determination she has progressed hugely and has kindly allowed us to share pics of her very first time out with us to her standing and paddling happily for the first time last Wednesday.

If you'd like this to be you then this is how...

- Book a place, and a board if needed using the following link (if you're bringing your own board don't forget your Paddle Uk membership number)


https://webcollect.org.uk/covenhamsc/category/stand-up-paddleboarding

- If you're experienced you'll have the opportunity to learn new skills, if you're a beginner we'll teach you everything you need to know to get started

What if the weather isn't great?

Come anyway, there are often sheltered spots around the reservoir that are perfectly safe to paddle in but in the unlikely event we can't paddle, we'll do some shore based learning
