Stand Up Paddle in Essex
Welcome to Frangipani SUP! Established in 2013 we are probably the friendliest and most active SUP school in Essex! We are based in Maldon on the stunning Blackwater Estuary and we are Active Essex Activity Heroes.
Fully recognised by the British Stand-Up Paddle Association (BSUPA) we provide a range of SUP activities and coaching for you to choose from:
Ready to Ride Lessons - Challenge & Race Team - Coaching - Instructor Courses - Magic Coaching and our online Mighty Network for women
You can learn and coach with us at a range of excellent venues, using our kit or your own. Check out the pages of this website for all the details and when you are ready to look at dates and book, please just hit the red ‘Book now’ button or call us for bespoke Coaching info. The ‘Book now’ button will redirect you to our on-line booking partners at Eola.co
Learning to Stand Up Paddle board takes place at water tested lakes - at Trifarm swimming lake in Boreham, Chelmsford and at Home Water Lake at Chigborough Farm, near Maldon. You can use our equipment or bring your own. (Chigborough Farm campers please note that we are not based there and only offer SUP lessons and coaching on certain set dates in the summer months.) For 1:2:1 Coaching we have access to many different venues and we will select the most suitable for you, your experience and our coaching goals.
We have a fabulous team of fully qualified BSUPA Instructors and experienced assistants (aka The Dream Team!) and we look forward to paddling with you. Hello from Instructors Anni, Mike, Lou, Paul, Lucy, Mat, Deana, John and Toby. And on the race circuit look out for Stuart, Clare and Maddison. If you are not sure about anything, or need help, just ask. Please like and follow us on Facebook and Instagram and share the Frangipani SUP stoke with your family and friends! We look forward to paddling with you.
Please note that we do not hire boards for you take away or use outside of our structured sessions. Thanks.
