let's get you ready for the water..

 

We cannot wait for your experience on the water, whether it's your first time, hundredth time or you're heading out for something a little bit different. 

​

Depending on what you've booked with us will depend on how we need you to prepare. Scroll down to the experience you have booked:

  • Equipment: We will provide you with all of your equipment - paddleboard, paddle, fin, buoyancy aid and leash.

  • Board choice: We have a range of boards for a range of abilities, size and experience level and we will match you with the best one for you. If you would like a particular one, please ensure you email to request in advance.

  • Cold weather kit: We will provide you with a wetsuit. Please wear a swimsuit underneath and you're welcome to wear a t-shirt over the top if you feel a little more comfortable that way.

  • Warm weather kit: Sportswear is perfect - shorts, t-shirt, leggings, anything quick drying. Just avoid cotton. We'd also recommend a cap, inexpensive sunglasses and wearing suncream too.
