3What is included?
Our sessions include all the gear they need to get on the water, we’ll kit them out with:
An adjustable paddle. they’ll be learning on a beautiful 10’6” Sandbanks SUP Style Art Board. Safety leash on every board and buoyancy aid.
4What should they wear?
We just ask that they dress for the weather; board shorts and tee shirts are a favourite in the Summer, or perhaps their favourite sports or swimming outfit. Quick-drying and sun-safe are a good choice (don't forget their suncream on a warm day).
On our feet we prefer a physical connection with the board so tend to go barefoot, but any water-shoe is fine or even a pair of old trainers that you don’t mind getting wet.
A towel and a change of clothes are a good idea, just in case.
5Feeling a little unsure?
New skills outside of our comfort zone can always seem a little daunting, but we are always SO much more capable than we think we are. We are passionate about making sure everybody feels safe, confident and happy with their experience; our approach is gentle, supportive and compassionate and you have nothing to worry about; we’ll look after them.

A great first SUP experience. I was made to feel I could achieve anything and was soon standing up. James could not have been warmer or more friendly and he made this a special day. A lovely setting and I would recommend it to anyone. My two teenage girls had a great time, it was a wonderful family experience!
