Following on from the content of the one-hour taster, the two-hour taster provides that extra bit of time to develop a client's skill-set and understanding further. We use the teaching model of the Academy of Surfing Instructors (ASI), ensuring that all participants are guided in a safe and enjoyable manner.
We develop skills at a comfortable pace for all clients, from refining paddling technique, to step-back transitions and improving efficiency on longer tours around the harbour during this Dorset Stand Up Paddling tuition.
