Requirements
Anyone taking to the River on a Self Guided SUP Adventure must:
- be able to swim 50 metres.
- be able to paddle independently.
- be accompanied by an adult if under 18 years of age.*
- wear their buoyancy aid at all times whilst on the water.
You will start the session paddling on your knees before transitioning to standing, therefore, a degree of flexibility is needed to do this.
*The adult to child ratio on the water is 1 adult to 2 children.
What to bring
For all of our SUP adventures we recommend that you wear shorts, running tights, or similar, and wear a t-shirt with additional layers appropriate for the day. You also need footwear to paddle with, for example old trainers.
Many people choose to pack their favourite food and drink for a riverside picnic or, if you're planning on stopping at a riverside pub, remember a bank card or similar.
