What are the physical requirements to participate in Stand Up Paddleboarding?

Due to the nature of Paddleboarding a certain level of flexibility is required to stand up and you should be able to self rescue.

​

Do I have to be able to swim?

We require you to be able to swim 25m. 

​

What should I bring with me?

You will need clothes to wear on the water (or a wetsuit?) not jeans?, water shoes, a towel or robbie and a change of clothes. Suncream is a necessity what ever the time of year and beanie (when its cold) or cap (when its sunny). Water and snacks to keep hydrated for energy afterwards.

​

For guided tours, Sup-rise and Sup-set sessions 

Some previous Paddleboarding experience is required and you should be able to self rescue.

​

What safety equipment is needed?

A personal floatation device should be worn at all times.

Please arrive ready as we do not currently have access to changing rooms or toilet facilities.

​

Will my lesson go ahead if it's raining?
