This evening, my daughter celebrated her 11th birthday belatedly, with Piotr leading her through her first adventure on a paddle board. Her original session had been postponed because of strong winds, and so we already knew we were in safe hands with an instructor who's observant of the potential hazards involved with poor weather conditions.
My husband went too, for a 2 hour session from Blue Chip SUP School in Walton and both husband and daughter could not have spoken more highly of the experience. All equipment was provided, and all instructions were easy to follow. Paddle boarding isn't that simple for a newcomer, but Piotr had them both traveling up and down the river in no time, enjoying the river-life and getting a great workout at the same time.
This has given us all the bug to learn, and I feel so lucky I came across Piotr at Blue Chip, as that was exactly the outcome I'd hoped for.

What an incredible experience. We booked a lesson with BlueChip SUP School and could not have been happier with the service and professionalism. Instructor Piotr was friendly and patient and made us feel comfortable throughout the session.
Recommend to anyone wanting to take up this amazing sport.
Also, Piotr and his school have great connections for boards at affordable prices. We purchased two and trust these over other sellers.
If you are looking to learn how to SUP, this is the school to go for!

Incredible day out on the water for my daughter 12th birthday. Peter, Jacky and Claire took the eight of us to a nearby creek where we safely enjoyed paddling and splashing. A great fun. From total beginners to confident pirates in less than two hours! Most importantly Peter was able to adapt to each person, from the most scared to the most daring. Everyone in the group achieved a great deal and came out with fantastic memories.

What a fantastic time we had on the water of Walton on Thames.Our instructor Piotr made the session both informative and extremely fun. He even took the time to photograph us having a giggle. We all felt like professionals by the end of the 2 hours session. Most definitely would recommend stand up paddle boarding with Blue Chip SUP School

The day was perfect and the guys from BlueChip were/are brilliant!!
Excellent, clear and simple instructions and inclusive for everyone to get on the water. Providing a few challenges to those who want it whilst taking care of the less confident too. Super impressed with the two guys, giving a taste of a great sport and pastime, and encouraging of being part of a wider SUP community, encouraging more people to it.

Wow! Lovely relaxed tuition expertly delivered by Piotr
and his talented team. Slightly intrepid as a 50+year old. However, I could not have been made to feel more welcome and reassured. I paddle boarded with my children aged 25 and 22 who loved it (and of course they were annoyingly super balanced). I really recommend booking a group lesson, it was lovely to mix with other novices to share a fab experience.

I met Piotr at a SUP training camp in Florida and got to know him as a person and a paddle boarder. He is so friendly and helpful and always makes you feel good about what you are doing. And very genrous - he was always taking pictures of other people and sharing them and encouraging them. I can't wait to get to England and paddle at his school. So many times your experience of learning to paddleboard depends on the teacher's connection and warmth . Piotr is the best.

The instructor was passionate and encouraging. Supportive and excellent tutor. I had a great time and felt well looked after. One of the clients struggled to stand and the instructor patiently worked with her and she stood! It meant our lesson lasted longer but it showed to me dedication and encouragement using extra time to help someone. Very impressed.

A lovely introduction to Stand Up Paddle boarding. This was my first attempt and Piotr was very patient and made it a really good fun experience. We were all kept very safe and were taught a lot of important techniques. I would now feel much more equipped to practise independently - I would recommend this lesson for all beginners!

First time paddle boarding and decided to join the 2hr group session with Piotr and Claire. Both instructors were fantastic making the whole session fun and intuitive.
Would highly recommend them, along with this session as it gives you enough time to get over the initial wobbly legs then experience the joy SUP's have to offer. Beautiful part of the river thames as well just adds to the day. Got the bug now!
