We suggest you bring your own SUP board and kit. Our aim is to empower you to feel confident every time you take to the water. Using your own equipment allows you to become familiar with it, and to ask us any questions about how it works.

If you haven't invested in a board yet, that's no problem. We can supply all the kit you'll need to take to the water with us.

First of all pack a sense of fun and adventure. After that we suggest...

• Clothes for the water and the land
• Sunglasses
• Sun hat
• Sunscreen (also helps against the wind)
• Drybag
• Water in a bottle

Unfortunately we cannot guarantee a secure location to leave any valuables while you are on the water with us, so please leave them at home.

This is very much dependent on the weather, your comfort, and your ability. You may feel comfortable in a wetsuit, or lightweight sports clothing such as shorts/leggings and a t-shirt. If you need advice, just ask us. There's a strong chance you'll get wet, even if it's just for a swim.

We tend to SUP barefoot so we can feel the board under our feet. You can wear thin water shoes/booties if you want, which are handy when launching and landing.

You must wear a PFD at all times when on the water. If you don't have one, we can supply one for you.

While we completely understand the joy of having your four-legged friend on your board with you, we don't allow dogs to brought along for SUP education sessions experiences.

We don't offer standalone hires.

If you book a SUP Education Session or Experience, we do have the option to hire a SUP board and kit for that booking only.

Generally we can't guarantee more than a grassy shoreline, a sandy beach, or a harbour pier.

Please use the facilities before you arrive, come changed into your water clothes if you wish, and pack some water/snacks.

Sometimes things change; sure look at the weather! We're understanding and will work with you to reschedule your booking or cancel it. All the terms and conditions can be found here.
