For kitesurfing, bring swimwear to wear under your wetsuit, warm and waterproof layers, sunscreen, sturdy footwear and change for the car park. For wingfoiling, wear footwear you don't mind getting wet and bring a wetsuit if you have one. For kayak and paddleboard hire, bring a towel, a change of clothes, a deposit item and a mobile phone in a dry bag. Fitness classes need a towel and water bottle.
