FAQ’s

I’ve never done yoga before, can I still go?

Absolutely YES….  it’s a great way to start your Yoga journey…

I’ve never been on a paddle board before, is that okay?

Yes of course.

Do we bring our own food and drink?

Some of our launch locations have food and drink but mostly they are quiet locations away from the buzz of life so it is important to bring your own food and drink.  Some activity packages do have some food /drink included. It’s best to check for each outing. 

Do you cater for different dietary requirements?

Yes, if we are providing a food or drinks based package we will do your best to understand and work with your specific requirements. 

How do I book?

We use booking website Eola.

Do you hire out boards on their own?

We do not plan to hire out our boards unsupervised, you will always have a qualified instructor/coach with you. 

Where do you paddle?

We have a variety of launch sites within Buckinghamshire they include the Thames at Marlow, Spade Oak and Hurley, Grand Union Canal on the outskirts of Aylesbury and Tring. 

Where do we go to the toilet?

Most locations have public toilet facilities within a short distance of the launch site. These details will be covered in your joining instructions. 

Where can we get changed? 

Before the session starts we recommend that you arrive in the clothing that you intend to paddle in. After the session, although some sites do have changing facilities some do not and so it is best to bring towels, dressing gown or other wrap around clothing which will allow you to change close to your car. The exact arrangements for each location will be clarified in the joining instructions. It is best to bring a large bin liner or waterproof bag for your wet shoes and clothes. 

Will I fall in?

Not everyone wants/likes to get wet if that is the case we can avoid activities that are likely to result in falling off. However most participants soon feel so happy and comfortable on the board that they are quite happy to fall in… To be honest you should prepare to get wet, if not completely wet, during each session. 

Is there free parking?

Some locations do require a parking fee but most of them are free. These details will be covered in your joining instructions. 

What do we wear? 

It’s best to wear clothes suitable for the weather conditions. For example in the summer –  long sleeve tops and some kind of back of neck protection in sunny weather, sun hats, sun glasses and sun cream, but also to carry a wind proof top and trousers (waterproof tops from most stores such as Asda/Tesco/Mountain Warehouse etc do the trick).  In cooler weather more layers are advised. 

Avoid wearing cotton t shirts, shorts, thick track suit trousers or jeans as they are very heavy and uncomfortable when wet.  Try to wear a sports/quick dry top and running leggings. 

Everyone must wear shoes that can get wet (we do have some standard wet shoe sizes for rent ) as the rivers and canals can hide fishermen’s hooks, glass and cut metal. 

Do you offer refunds?

If notice of a cancellation after payment is given at least two weeks before the event a refund will be provided. Where possible sessions will be re arranged. In the event of an illness each situation will be considered individually. Cancellation details can be found on our booking website, Eola.

What Covid-19 guidelines have you got in place?

Your coaches/instructors have all received double jabs for Covid. 

When we collect your personal information we also confirm that this will be retained for track and trace purposes. 

We will arrive with face masks, we are happy to wear these throughout the session if requested but it does limit some of the activities which can be undertaken.  There is generally very limited close contact between participants and once on the boards the 1m distance rule is pretty easy to comply with. 

The boards, paddles, buoyancy aids and any rented equipment will be sprayed or washed with disinfectant after use by a participant. 

Sanitiser hand gel will be provided for all participants before and after the session. The instructors generally have a bottle in the buoyancy aids during the sessions. 

This is an outside activity.
