NEWQUAY SUP FAQ's
Where Will The Paddle Boarding Take Place?
We will start our paddle board session at The River Gannel in Newquay. The full meeting location will be advised upon booking.
How Many People Can Can We Have In Our Group?
At present I can cater for groups of up to 8 people. For larger groups please do get in contact and I’ll see what I can do!
What Equipment Do Your Provide?
I will provide 11ft stand up paddle boards for all participants complete with paddles, leash and fins.
I am able to provide wetsuits so long as measurements for all participants are provided beforehand. You do not necessarily need a wetsuit however as you wont be spending a lot of time in the water. In the warm summer months swimwear, t-shirts / shorts, etc. are just fine.
Do I Need Any Experience Paddle Boarding?
No, you will be taught everything you need to know by Paul who is a qualified SUP instructor and will be up on your feet in no time at all.
Equally if you have paddle boarded before and are all paddle boarding experts, we’ll move at a pace that suits you.
