stand up Paddleboarding (SUP)

There is no greater venue for inland stand up paddleboarding (SUP) than London’s Royal Docks. Whether you're looking for a new and interesting way to keep fit, or just interested in giving the world’s fastest-growing water sport a try, we can provide coaching and practice sessions to suit your needs.

WakeUpDocklands is a British Stand Up Paddleboard Association (BSUPA) registered school which means our lessons are delivered by professionally certified instructors. We provide a range of paddleboard activities, including tours of the historic Royal Victoria dock, BSUPA 'ready to ride' courses, and paddleboard ‘yogalates’ (yoga+pilates) classes. More classes are added all the time.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Paddleboarding outside of our instructor lead classes is only available to certified paddlers in possession of a BSUPA “Ready to Ride” card or equivalent certification of proficiency from a recognised accredited organisation. There is no public access to the Royal Victoria Dock, nor may any other vessels be launched from our site, e.g. kayaks, inflatables, kites, etc.

For safety reasons we recommend wearing shoes when entering and exiting the water. Buoyancy aids and leashes must be worn at all times when SUPing at our location.
