Kids SUP for FREE: Oct Half-Term Offer

• Start with a safety and basic skills briefing by the slipway
• Kneel on the board to paddle out before trying to stand
• Paddle along the river and onto the lake for up to two hours

Create lots of fun memories on the water this half term with our 2-Hour Board Hire package. Perfect for a spontaneous outdoor adventure, our hire booking option gives you the freedom to grab a board and launch straight onto the water after a quick safety and skills briefing from our team. Whether you’re a complete beginner or have some experience, our well-maintained boards and expert support ensure a safe, fun, and memorable time on the water.

Minimum booking = 1 adult and 1 child

All children under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult.

Buoyancy aids must be worn at all times.

All participants must be able to swim at least 50m.

Only 1 person is permitted per board, with the exception of anyone aged 5 - 8 who may share a board with an adult and will be safely positioned sat down on the front of the board.

Anyone aged 8 - 18 years old wishing to hire a paddleboard can have their own board if conditions are suitable but must have an adult accompanying them out on the water at all times.

Our standard 10'6" boards have a 95kg weight limit and our 10'8" boards can hold slightly more for those wishing to have a young child or dog on board with them.

You will need to plan for all weathers and ultimately expect to get wet!

You may or may not fall into the water, but it is always better to be prepared.

Always bring a towel and a spare set of dry clothes and shoes. If you have your own wetsuit then you are welcome to bring it (particularly in the cooler months when the water temperature is a lot lower), or wear clothes suitable for being on the water, i.e., swimsuit, shorts, t-shirt, leggings, gym wear, waterproof, wind-shell jacket, etc. (Avoid denim, thick hoodies or jogging bottoms that will get heavy when wet.)

We have a small range of wetsuits available to hire at £5pp that you can add on to your booking, but please be aware they are subject to availability and exact sizes cannot be guaranteed on our busier days. Please always bring other suitable clothing to wear as a back-up option and we can refund your £5 on arrival.

If you are happy and warm enough in bare feet then that is absolutely fine, but footwear, such as swim shoes, crocs or old trainers, can be useful as our launch slipway and river/lake shores are quite rocky underfoot.

Additional items you may like to bring depending on the weather:

1. warm hats
2. extra layer
3. hard shell waterproof to shield from wind/rain
4. sun cap
5. sun cream
6. bottled water
7. neoprene booties/gloves
8. other items may also be required, although please note items such as sunglasses may be lost if you fall in the water!

Your valuables, such as car keys and phone, will obviously need to be protected, so a waterproof bag/phone case is good to bring along. If you do not have a bag then we will happily look after your items, but all valuables whether kept on land or on board are done so at your own risk.

Participants will start their session by the slipway with a quick safety and basic skills briefing.

When everyone is ready to go you will walk the boards slowly into the shallow water, attach your safety leash and kneel onto the boards. Paddle out while kneeling before heading further out along the river to try standing up.

Enjoy up to 2 hours of fun paddling along the river onto the lake before heading back to base.
