This course is for you if: You'd like an all round intro to paddlesport, and a great day out!
We provide buoyancy aids (compulsory), waterproof paddling tops, and all necessary paddling equipment. So you need to turn up in basic sports wear e.g. shorts and t shirt. It’s sensible to bring a spare fleece top just in case it gets colder than expected. On hot days don’t forget sun screen and a sun hat.
If it’s cold/rainy: A warm hat, fleece top and tracksuit type trousers are ideal. (not jeans and hoodies, as they hold water). Wetsuits or waterproof trousers can be worn if you feel the cold or you can hire a wetsuit from the centre for £10 for the day.
You must wear footwear - old trainers, sandals, or wet shoes. They must stay on in the water, so flip-flops and crocs are unsuitable.
A towel and a complete change of clothing (and shoes) are required for everyone!
If you wear glasses or sun-glasses, we suggest you secure them. Neoprene spec-bands are available to buy at the centre if required.
