ARE WETSUITS INCLUDED IN THE PRICE?
I DON’T KNOW MY WETSUIT SIZE, WHAT SHOULD I PUT?
Let us know what dress size you wear (Women’s 6 - 20).
I HAVE MY OWN WETSUIT, CAN I WEAR IT?
Of course you can! If you only have a shortie or are unsure if it still fits you (don't worry it happens!), let us know what size you are anyway and we can bring you a suit just in case.
WHAT DO I NEED TO BRING FOR MY ACTIVITIES?
- A swimming costume/shorts
- A beach towel

- A big smile and a sense of adventure
SUP: For ease, we recommend using one of ours. They are all top of the range O’shea, Jobe and Finla boards.
Surf: If you have your own board you are more than welcome to use it but we do recommend one of our Foam boards as they really help when you are learning
SUP: No, you don’t need shoes, bare feet grip very well to our boards. If your trip is from Stackpole Quay, we recommend bringing some shoes that you can leave in a bag at the Quay as there are a few stones to walk over to get to the water's edge.
Surf: You may want to bring some shoes to walk over the pebbles at our surf beaches. These will be left on the beach while we are in the water so please dont bring your most treasured shoes!
The beauty of watersports is that anyone can give them a go! We have taken people on the water from every walk of life imaginable. All we ask is that you can swim at least 25m unaided as this is for your safety.
I HAVE A MEDICAL CONDITION, CAN I STILL COME?
Yes, in most cases you can absolutely still come along to our weekends. All of our instructors take ‘rescue bags’ out on the water with them so any medications can go into this bag for the duration of the activities. If you would like to discuss this with us further, please drop us an email and a member of the team will contact you.
DO I NEED TO BE A STRONG SWIMMER?
We do ask that you can swim at least 25m unaided in order to join us on any one of our sessions.
