Stand up paddleboarding is the fastest-growing water sport in the world right now and Raglan’s calm, flat waters are the perfect place to give it a go.

Paddleboarding is a cross between surfing and kayaking but requires far less physical and technical ability. It’s an amazing full-body workout that helps improve core strength, cardio fitness, balance and flexibility with minimal impact, and it’s suitable for people of all ages and fitness levels. It’s also a highly enjoyable way to soak up Raglan’s spectacular scenery.

At Raglan Watersports, we offer a number of ways to help you discover paddleboarding. Hire a board and paddle the water at your own pace, or join us for a guided cruise and let us show you the harbour’s most hidden secrets.

If you’re a complete beginner, a lesson with one of qualified instructors will have you up and paddling like a pro in no time, or maybe you’re ready to step up and give paddle surfing a go? However you decide to experience paddleboarding, our friendly, professional instructors and extensive knowledge of Raglan’s waterways will ensure you love every minute.
