FAQ’S

1. Can I come solo? Absolutely
2. Do I need to be a Paddle Up member? Nope
3. Age requirements? Adults only
4. What should I wear? Wear weather appropriate clothing for SUP, quick drying active wear or wetsuit & shoes you don't mind getting wet.

🩹 The quality of our local waterways is something to always be aware of and it’s important to do your own research regarding this. When paddle boarding with us we ask that you cover up any minor cuts and abrasions, and to wash once you are home if you fall/swim in the river, this is to reduce the risk of disease such as weil's disease. Paddle Up strongly recommends not to participate in paddling if I have any open wounds, and instead to reschedule. Read our FAQ's here.
