Paddleboarding is a fun easy way to get out on to the water. You can sit, kneel or stand & they’re very easy to quickly get the hang of. We’ll supply all the equipment you’ll need including bouyancy aids to keep you safe. Once we’ve got the hang of the board then we will go for a little journey to see what we can see.
Wetsuits are highly recommended.
Nicholl End Marina will supply a wetsuit and there is changing rooms on site. You’ll need swimwear for underneath it.
Some people feel more comfortable wearing loose shorts or waterproof trousers over the top.
If you don’t want to wear a wetsuit that’s OK. You’ll need to wear clothes you are able to swim in and that will be warm-ish and not too heavy when wet.
You must wear shoes of some kind.
