Stand Up Paddleboarding (SUP) with Surfdock, Grand Canal Dock, Dublin

Posted on by

We’ve got some great SUP activities planned for you this Spring!

Our SUP school is open after the winter break, you can sign up now for beginners and intermediate classes in the Grand Canal Dock and Dublin Bay.

But it’s not just lessons we offer…

If you have your own equipment, join us for free for an hour long social paddle, get advice from experienced paddleboarders and meet other paddlers. Equipment rental is available for €10/hour. Once the weather gets milder and the days longer, we will also organise SUP trips outside the Dock.

We will have three race dates with races for elite racers and fun races for those who are new to the sport or new to racing. The race distance for the fun classes will be considerably shorter than the elite class and is a great introduction to the competitive side of stand up paddleboarding.

Improve your core strength and balance and increase your fitness levels with a mix of cardiovascular exercises and SUP.
