All under 16s must be accompanied by an adult on the water – please book a slot per person as usual, however be aware of the advice below:
If booking with a child aged 6-9, we will assume that child will share your paddleboard with you so it so it is easier to keep up with the group.
Children aged 10+ will most likely be able to keep up with the group on their own boards.
