Requirements

Customers should be in good health, fit to paddle (with a basic level of all-round fitness: see ‘Can I do it?’ in our FAQs), 13 years old or over, capable of swimming and confident in the water.

What to bring

Our base coaching price assumes that you will supply your own board, paddle, leash, plus whatever you choose to wear on the water.

Otherwise – if you have selected the £25 hire kit add-on to rent a board – all you need to bring is a towel, and arrive wearing swimming kit under your clothes.
