Frequenting asked questions
What should I wear?
As with any water sport, it is important to wear the appropriate clothing. We advise that you wear surf/sports wear (shorts and t-shirt, over swimwear. Rash vests are a good option because they block the sun, they dry quickly and they don't get heavy when wet.
Cotton material is not advisable, because it soaks up the water instead of resisting moisture. It also becomes heavy and uncomfortable.
We also advise that you choose a sunhat over sunglasses. We have seen hundreds of pairs lost to the sea! Additionally - it presents an injury risk, should you fall and catch your face.
What happens if the weather is unsuitable?
Due to our location, weather can be very changeable. We endeavour to provide accurate information and base this on a number of different weather apps. However, we may need to change or move your booking to another day. We will attempt to give advance notice, but we reserve the right to change or cancel the booking even on the day, for your own safety and enjoyment.
Reasons we would do this include strong winds, thunderstorms in the general area and intense heat / generated thermals. We do not carry out any activities if wind speeds are in excess of 8 mph / 12 kph. It is worth noting that during the summer months (May - August) thermal winds can pick up around 10.30 - 11.00 am and last throughout the day. This makes paddling conditions much harder for the inexperienced.
Other useful information:
Your bags and personal belongings can be kept securely in our shop - also known as "The SUP Cave!" We like to start the lessons promptly, so ask that you arrive five minutes prior to the booking! If applying suntan creams, please can you carry this out before you arrive, as they can damage the paddle boards and make the paddles very greasy.
We will take plenty of photo’s of your experience and send these to you afterwards, so that you can remember your experience with us!
