Just one day paddleboarding in the Salcombe Estuary can be life-changing for school children.
It’s incredible what children of all ages can learn – from the moment they step onto the board, to mastering the art of standing up, to feeling ten feet tall as they explore these beautiful waters.
Paddleboarding is a new, powerful way for school children from across South Devon to:
Boost confidence
Increase fitness
Improve co-ordination
Develop teamwork skills
Enhance wellbeing
Connect with nature and a healthy lifestyle
Start a new, fun hobby
One part-education, one part-inspiration, the sessions are ran by Salcombe Watersports (formerly Salcombe Paddleboarding) – a family business ran by Marcus Nolan. Marcus is a fully qualified ISA paddleboard instructor and a former professional surf lifeguard. He combines his dedication to safety with his love of watersports in the place he calls home – the Salcombe Estuary.
