• ‘Barefoot’ paddling is best but we suggest that you bring/wear trainers/wetsuit boots/neoprene shoes to wear to walk down to launch point

• If you require the use of prescription glasses, we have glasses retainers/bands for you to use.

• Please do not take your mobile phone out on the water. We cannot guarantee its safety.

• This activity is targeted at Adults 18+. Those aged 16-18 must be accompanied on the water with parent/legal guardian.

• All participants must be in good health. All participants will be required to complete a Health Declaration Form upon arrival. If any participant has tested positive for Covid they will not be permitted to attend. All medical conditions must be declared in advance. Any concerns regarding participation should be raised with their GP/medical professional. If any participant requires ‘on-water’ medical support, eg. Inhaler for asthma, then this must be passed over to the Instructor before lesson commencement who will carry it on their person in a waterproof case.

• Our boards have maximum weight capacity of 120Kg/18 stone. The impact is on the stability of the board and your enjoyment. Furthermore, you must be able to ‘self rescue’ (ie re-mount the board). If it is deemed unsafe for you to continue then we will unfortunately request that you leave the experience.

• If at any time during the experience you feel unwell or discomfort, this must be raised immediately with either Instructor or Oxfordshire Mind representative.
