This course must be pre-booked as so we know how many coaches we need for each session; we cannot accept on the day arrivals.
We are also running an introduction to paddlesports for Juniors at the same time. Please book them into that session..
Alfresco changing rooms. Unfortunately, we do not have changing rooms on site. We do have changing tents for you to use. Due to the nature of paddle boarding, it is highly likely you will get wet, so please bring a towel and warm, dry clothes to change into.
There are no toilets on site, although you can use the Julie Rose.
Wet suits. As a club, we have some wet suits you can borrow along with a dry top to keep you warm. If you are using our wet suits, please wear a swimming costume underneath. If you would prefer to use your own clothes, please remember that they will get wet and man-made is better than cotton. You may want to wear a thin waterproof to keep the wind off.
Footwear
- Beach shoes / sandals are ideal.
- Old trainers
- Wet-suit booties
Swimming You will need to be able to swim 50m and be confident around water.
After the paddle We will have some flasks of tea/coffee available for after the paddle with as a chance to get to know everyone.
