  • Description

    Going out on the water with an instructor for your first time is always a good idea. All of our instructors have a wealth of knowledge across a variety of disciplines.


    For your first time on the water, they are particularly useful for talking you through your chosen craft (usually kayaks, canoes, or stand-up paddleboards), teaching you how to safely get on and off of the water, and teaching you the basics of how to get around while you’re on it.


    On the other hand, some people prefer not to be coached too much, but just have a guided paddle on the water, having an instructor with them for reassurance and feeling safer.

    Requirements
    1. Participant should be comfortable on and around the water, please let us know if you have any concerns surrounding this.
    2. You should be able to partake in physical activity for this period of time, please check with your doctor or call us with any concerns.


    What to bring

    Please come prepared for your time on the water. We recommend casual, sporty clothing in layers so you can adjust to the weather. A fleece with waterproofs are great if you have them, if not we have some tops/trousers that you can borrow to wear over your clothes for the session. Please bring shoes that you do not mind getting wet and a change of clothes for 'just in case'.


    Please bring any medication you may need and ensure the instructor is aware of this before the session starts.

    Itinerary

    You'll join one of our instructors on a paddle around the local area, please let the instructor know what you would like out of the session and they will tailor it to suit you. Everything from an hours relaxing saunter to a jam packed hour of skill development.
