Frequently asked questions

Do all paddlers need to be able to self rescue - YES!!!!!!

Please do not attend if you have never paddled before. Most of our events are run in conjunction with groups that have trained paddleboarders. If you’d like to attend but feel your skills may not be sufficient, please get in touch before the event, and we’ll do our best to help you arrange lessons.

What clothing will you need?

If it's cold, appropriate winter paddleboarding clothing is essential. A winter wetsuit or drysuit is the best option to stay warm and safe on the water. For guidance on the best gear, please see our 'What to Wear in Winter' guide for advice, Which is on SUP inflatables Info Zone.

Do I need a Buoyancy Aid or PFD

YES! Please bring your own but we will have a limited supply to borrow.
