Shac Paddleboard

Overview

Shac Paddleboard, located at the lovely Pheasant in Betchworth, is a fun spot for families looking to get their feet wetor should I say paddle? The atmosphere is quite relaxed, with a small, calm lake that's ideal for kids to learn about paddleboarding in a safe environment. You'll find the team here friendly and approachable, ready to guide you through the basics if you're new to the sport.

Now, there are a few things to keep in mind. If you already have your own paddleboard and can't wait to explore, you might be a bit disappointed as they restrict access to a small section of the lake unless you've completed their specific introductory course. So, if you're a seasoned paddler, it might feel a touch limiting. Still, if you're looking for a gentle introduction to the activity with the kids, this could be a brilliant way to spend an afternoon.
