Explore the East Sussex coast and nearby waterways
Paddle at a relaxed pace with a friendly local guide. Routes are chosen around suitable wind, tide and sea state. Public review themes mention Cuckmere and Alfriston-style paddles, wildlife, scenic water, conversation and confidence-building along the way.

Safety confidence
Feel better prepared before you head out
SUP sea safety sessions help you make better choices on the water rather than simply hoping conditions stay friendly.
SHOE assessment
Goose has publicly referenced the SHOE assessment as a simple way to make sea sessions safer. Ask Paul to walk you through how he uses it.
Tide and weather checks
Sessions are planned around wind, tide, sea state and water confidence rather than a rigid timetable.
Self-rescue confidence
SUP sea safety sessions can cover equipment basics, what to do if conditions change and how to make calmer decisions on the water.
