Stand Up Paddleboarding with Discover SUP

Following on from our very successful introduction to Stand Up Paddleboarding (SUP) recently with Eoin Kernan of Discover SUP (see the fun video in our Video Corner), here is a chance to try out those skills! This expedition is suitable for anyone who has any SUP experience at all and Eoin is happy to do a quick intro with anyone who hasn’t yet tried it but would like to take part. This is a special Cruising Group event (with CG discount) – any spaces we don’t take up will then be offered to Club members.

Autumnal SUP Tour – Sunday, 17th September 2023

Immersed in nature and beauty, our upcoming Autumnal SUP tour offers a chance to take in a unique perspective on the beauty of the Grand Canal, combining relaxation and adventure. Escape the bustle of Howth and connect with the rich heritage that flows along and between the bridges and canal banks.

Starting at 10 am, you will grab your paddle, step onto your board, and embark on a 7km meander between the 12th and 13th locks of the canal. The trip will take approximately 2 hours at a gentle pace and will finish with a relaxing coffee and snack at the Cliff at Lyons Hotel (at a fireside table).

Suitable for those who are comfortable completing 7km while paddling (can be a mixture of kneeling and standing); also comfortable if falling into the water and getting back on board. For anyone new to SUPing, Eoin can have a chat with you in advance to explain and answer questions. HYC boards and kit can be booked in advance.

Discounted rate for Cruising Group members – €35

Please let Susan know if you are interested. At this point, we are looking for an idea of numbers – booking information will follow.
