Fraser Withey Email & Phone Number

I'm an experienced and fully accredited ASI Instructor and teach individuals and groups to Paddleboard along Stroud and Slimbridge waterways.My own story began with the ending of a stressful career, medicated for depression and anxiety and suffering permanent lower back pain. I purchased a paddleboard and began spending time on local waterways with my dog, Nellie, as a means to learn to relax again.My enjoyment of both nature and the tranquillity of being on the water played a major role in my recovery to a point where I could manage my wellbeing again. The no impact exercise also proved to be amazingly beneficial for my lower back as the upright twisting movement strengthened my core and alleviated pain.I sold my motorcycle to raise funds for a couple of extra boards and became hooked, teaching friends on my spare boards and getting to know the local inland waterways.In August 2018 I became an ASI Paddleboard instructor and enjoyed the tail end of the summer and also teaching a few hardy souls through the winter.
