Yes. Maxesive has axe throwing dates through the winter months and from spring. Paddleboarding with Floatin on Thames, Paddle SUP Company and Paddle Richmond has no winter dates listed, so check each activity for new dates.

Maxesive runs family axe throwing sessions, but its listings don't state a minimum age, so check the activity page. Floatin on Thames bookings must be made by an adult, and paddlers need to be able to swim at least 50m with a buoyancy aid. The Mytchett Flashes tour needs a previous lesson or self-taught paddling, and the Richmond expedition is for competent paddleboarders.

For paddleboarding, bring a water bottle, sun protection, clothing for the weather (a wetsuit in colder weather), and a towel and change of clothes for afterwards. For the Mytchett Flashes tour, wear quick-dry layers and soft-soled shoes or neoprene boots. Paddle Richmond asks you to arrive ready to go, as there are no toilets, changing or storage facilities at the launch point at Ditton Beach.
