Surfdock is leading the charge with 2 fully qualified SUP instructors offering “taster” sessions to wet your appetite, and intensive SUP courses on the Grand Canal Basin, beside the shop in the ship!
With newly refurbished changing facilities, rest zone and BBQ area, “the dock” is fast becoming THE place to be this Summer.

Thumbs up to Colin & the Surfdock crew, harnessing what’s on our doorstep and making local, fun!
