about us

The SUP Active Yorkshire team pride themselves in  providing an inclusive  safe fun learning environment with our highly motivated and experienced  staff who love what they do. We work with a variety of groups and and try to get as many people on the water and enjoying the great outdoors.

We are passionate about giving you a great day on the water with our experienced ASI and Paddle UK instructors who are all focused on giving you an enjoyable learning experience. 

SUP Active works mainly from a great location beside Ellerton Lake, with showers, toilets, changing block and a cafe. There are set sessions, but we can also arrange bespoke sessions on The River Ouse, Ripon Canal, Semerwater to name a few local places. We also have trips and expeditions further afield including Scotland and Norway but also the great Ripon to York trip that in our very own beautiful Yorkshire. The sessions are for anyone, beginners or experienced young or old and we also pride ourselves in helping those with mobility issues and other impairments  experience our wonderful blue spaces. Look out for set sessions on our Facebook page. Or If you want to design your own trip please give us a ring. 

   We have also been awarded an AALA licence allowing us to host under 18's school and youth groups. Just some of our teams qualifications below with many years of experience working in the outdoors.
