You may have seen the sad news that Yoke Hill Leisure is closing, for completely understandable reasons, the weather has been awful for us all this year! Because of this, I’ve refunded anyone with a booking and will not be taking any further bookings this year. I will be looking for an alternative venue for paddleboarding from next year and will share details here when I do. It’s been a pleasure working with you all and introducing you to this fab sport, thankyou for coming along and trying it out! Have a great rest of the summer and I hope to see you again in future 🙏❤️

We’ve had lots of fun on the water this summer so far! Some complete newbies, some who wanted to get more confidence to go out by themselves, some who swim here and wanted to try being on the water instead, some who booked as a private group to have a whole session with family and friends. Yoke Hill is such a special place and I feel very lucky to be able to be a part of the magic there.
We are having a little break now until mid-August and then back for some summer holiday sessions as well as the usual weekend sessions to book onto. We also have space for private groups if you’d like to book a date, please get in touch.
Booking link is here - we can’t wait to see you on the lake! https://www.tickettailor.com/events/soardevelopmentltd

Getting ready for the start of the 2026 paddleboarding season at Yoke Hill Leisure at today’s Open Day - very excited for this year as the cafe is looking amazing and now there’s a sauna too! At Yoke Hill there’s so much more than just getting on the water, come and be part of the community there, enjoy a drink or lunch after your session, stay and enjoy the sunshine (hopefully!), it’s time for you.
Tickets for this year will soon be live, see link in bio, we are also offering private group sessions if there’s a group of at least 6 who want your own session, message me to arrange a date.
Shout out to Pizza Gorillas for their incredible pizzas we got to try out today, highly recommended 👌😋
See you on the water soon!

Celebrations here tonight as on a wet and windy day in Stratford I passed my Level 3 SUP Coach award, very happy to have achieved this level qualification to support my work with everyone on the water 🤩🥰 We had lots of fun and giggles today, it definitely helped to have an assessment with people who are up for some fun and games as they learn!
