What safety equipment to use and why, how to read and understand the forecasts and the conditions, what to do if things go wrong, all broken down into bite-sized chunks so you can work through it at your leisure.

It will give you the knowledge, that may well end up saving your life!

The latest in our series of free education courses covering all aspects of SUP safety. This course covers SUP rescue technique - how to use your board to take other boards or craft under tow, and to rescue people in trouble in the water, get them out of the water and get them to shore. Every paddleboarder should know these techniques - the stand up paddleboard is actually an extraordinarily powerful rescue tool if you know the right tricks and techniques. And every year, literally thousands of people get into difficulties in the waters around our islands (and millions more around the rest of the world). So it is entirely feasible that one day, you'll be out there on your paddleboard and encounter someone in trouble in the water. Hence this course. It will give you the knowledge that may well end up saving somebody's life!
