  • 2 hrs

  • Max 25 people

A 2 hour private SUP, Kayak or Canoe lesson at Brentford Lock

Description

Book a private lesson and guided trip along the Grand Union Canal and River Brent. We run these private sessions primarily as a guided tour, however we can include some of the following options if requested: short races, technique training / exercises, games.

This session is suitable for beginners and people of all abilities and ages. You will need to be able to swim and be confident in the water (just in case!). A certain level of flexibility and ability to get up to standing from kneeling is required for learning to paddleboard. Minimum age for Children is 8 years old.

Children only cannot be booked on these sessions.


Weather conditions

Whilst we endeavour to carry out our sessions, minimum numbers, instructor availability and weather conditions (If it is very windy or there is torrential rain meaning poor visibility) may mean we have to reschedule your lesson. We will always contact you to advise you as soon as we are able to discuss the options with you.





Requirements

You do not need to be a proficient swimmer, but should be comfortable about falling into water while wearing a buoyancy aid.

A certain level of flexibility and ability to get up to standing from kneeling is required for learning to paddleboard.

You will need to shower / wash thoroughly after the session if you have fallen in or been splashed and need to ensure any open cuts are covered.

We have taken people with physical and mental disabilities out on the water however please contact us before booking as we may need to take you out privately to ensure you receive the coach's full attention.

We will also need to know of any recent injuries prior to the session.

What to bring

What to wear/bring?


Remember to check weather forecast and dress accordingly.

In warm weather (spring/summer):

  1. gym/jogging type quick drying 'technical' clothing
  2. footwear is essential - neoprene/water shoes are best, if not a spare pair of trainers or old sandals (with a heel strap) will do. Your feet will get wet! NO FLIP FLOPS (you may lose them in the water)
  3. change of clothes and a towel just in case you take a little dip during your SUP lesson
  4. extra layers to put on after the activity (exercise makes us feel a bit chilly after)
  5. waterproof case for your phone if you are planning to take it on water with you
  6. retainers for your glasses/sunglasses (don't lose them!)
  7. wetsuits are available on site if required
  8. sunscreen is a MUST in the summer even on an overcast day.
  9. make sure you arrive HYDRATED to your session (please start drinking water 1- 2 hrs before your session and drink plenty of water!)

Where can I leave my belongings?

There are no lockers on site but personal belongings (in a bag) can be left in the container.





Itinerary

The session will start with some land based instruction before heading out on the water.

How far we will get will depend on conditions on the day.
