PADDLEBOARD SESSIONS
Where I coach paddleboarding
Currently based in Nelson, New Zealand for lessons and sessions with Moana Paddle Nelson - you can get in touch with me or book direct with the team.
Get in touch if you are based elsewhere across the country as lessons, group sessions and water safety courses will be on the road across New Zealand throughout 2024 and 2025 (aimed at those with their own paddleboards).

HOW I COACH stand up PADDLE BOARDING
As a Paddle UK qualified UP Coach and Leader, I have taught around a thousand people to paddle, and each session is always tailored to meet your goals. My coaching philosophy is centred around my personal values and I aim to create a positive and caring environment in my coaching.
Things like personal experiences, injuries, fears, learning styles, and fitness can all affect how we paddle, and I believe there is no 'one size fits all' approach. I pride myself on being creative and adapting to find a way that feels good for you.
There's no such thing as a stupid question, and often we don't know what we don't know when it comes to paddleboarding. Knowledge is empowering and I believe I can help make your time on the water more enjoyable, and open your eyes to the freedom that paddleboarding can give.
