Seeing the early morning or just before sunset from the water is a special moment.

Bathed in the golden hour, enjoy the peace and magic of this lovely time of day.

Greet the day paddling on our stand up paddle boards (SUPs) and explore this beautiful stretch of the river between Richmond and Teddington.

Each person must be able to paddle independently.

You should be confident on and around water and need to be able to swim 50 metres.

Please note that all paddlers under 18 years of age must be accompanied on the water with a parent or guardian.

You will start the session paddling on your knees before transitioning to standing, therefore, a degree of flexibility is needed to do this.

For all of our SUP adventures we recommend that you wear shorts, running tights, or similar, and wear a t-shirt with additional layers appropriate for the day. You also need footwear to paddle with, for example old trainers.

Many people choose to pack their favourite food and drink for a riverside picnic or, if you're planning on stopping at a riverside pub, remember a bank card or similar.

Our friendly team will provide you with dry bags, PFDs (buoyancy aids) and your paddles and stand up paddleboard (SUP).

The session starts with a briefing and introduction to paddling before taking to the water for your journey into the Back of Beyond...

1. Paddle the water between Richmond Bridge and Teddington Lock.
2. Explore the islands and riverside jungle as you go.
3. Stop for a riverside picnic and swim.
