Our one-hour equipment hire session is the perfect way to experience the freedom of kayaking and explore the water on your own terms. Hosted at our safe and secure lake, with all the necessary equipment provided and as a safety orientation included, you can feel confident and secure wile enjoying the beauty of the water.
For those advanced paddlers, you are welcome to take the equipment off site to the sea next door for your hour after a quick competency test. You MUST leave photo ID with us to be able to do this.
What to Wear?
In warm weather: 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 cream, and a sun hat is a good idea.
If it’s cold/rainy: A fleece top and tracksuit type trousers (jeans and hoodies are unsuitable, as they hold a lot of water). A warm hat is a good idea for cold days. Waterproofs are useful if you have them.
You must wear footwear: Old trainers, sandals, or beach 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!
Also it’s handy to bring a carrier bag or two, to put wet clothes/shoes into after the session
Wetsuits are not essential for introductory courses, but if you have one, they can be useful, especially when it’s slightly chilly, and if you’re enjoying one of our SUPs!
We provide buoyancy aids (compulsory), waterproof tops if needed, and all necessary paddling equipment. Changing facilities are available nearby and there is a snack shop on site.
