Location This sunrise session starts from Teddington Lock, one of the most serene stretches of the Thames. Here, you'll experience the river at its most quiet, adorned with stunning light and rich in wildlife. Prerequisites Please kindky note that this session is for those with prior paddleboarding experience and is not suited for beginners. Physical fitness to some extent is required, as is comfort with falling into water while wearing a buoyancy aid. Please let us know of any recent injuries prior to the session. 14+ only, with children accompanied by an adult. Why Choose Us? We don't just offer lessons; we offer experiences. With bases at Richmond Bridge, Teddington Lock, and Kingston, we cover one of the safest and most scenic stretches of the Thames. Our coaches are not just experienced and qualified, but they are also incredibly friendly and passionate about making your time with us both enjoyable and educational. Whether you're a seasoned paddler or a newcomer (for our other classes), you'll always find something new to learn and a big smile to take home. ### Essential information _None._ ### What’s included Professional and personalised paddleboarding coaching Paddleboard and paddle Buoyancy aids (compulsory for all participants) Safe storage space for your belongings ### What’s not included Dog lifejackets if you bring your pup Transportation to and from the meeting point ### Kit list _None._ ## FAQs ### Do you accommodate special needs? Yes, but contact us before booking so that we can discuss your requirements. ### How do I get to the meeting point? Train: Teddington train station is a 15-minute walk away. Bike: There is ample room to lock bikes on the railings outside the pub where we meet. Bus: Bus routes 33, 281, 285, 481, R68 and X26 all go through the Kingston Road/Manor Road/Ferry Road crossroads, which is just a 2-minute walk down Broom Road to the pub we meet at.​ Parking: There is a small car park at the pub, but this fills very quickly, however you can usually park free of charge on Ferry Road on Teddington village side of the crossroads. ### Who is the session suitable for? Please note that the Dawn Patrol is open only to individuals with prior paddleboarding experience and is not suitable for beginners. Those aged 14 and above can join if they’re supervised by a parent or guardian on the water. Again, they must have prior experience. ### Is the River Thames safe for paddling? Absolutely! All sessions are supervised by a certified instructor and are timed to occur at ‘half-tide’ for minimal river flow, maximising safety. ### Where will we be paddling? From Teddington, if we are staying on the tidal Thames we usually paddle down to Eel Pie Island and back. If we head upstream onto the non-tidal river we will paddle round the beautiful and hidden Trowlock Island, and may even get to Kingston town centre before heading back. ### What should I wear and bring with me? Come dressed in the attire you plan to paddle in, as our changing space is quite basic. Your bags and valuables can be safely stored in our lockable storage area. You don’t need specialised attire, but please avoid jeans and cotton, as they become uncomfortably cold when wet. Quick-drying gym clothes or swimwear work well in warm weather (shorts, leggings, T-shirts, fleeces). Footwear is optional; most people prefer to paddle barefoot, but water shoes, flip-flops, or older trainers are fine if you prefer. For sunny conditions, pack a hat, sunscreen, and a water bottle. During colder months (November to March), we recommend wearing a wetsuit. These are available upon request, or you can bring your own. Also, pack extra layers, a towel, and a change of clothes in case you end up in the water. Consider bringing a small dry bag to hold spare clothes, money, essential medications, and your phone in a waterproof case. If you don’t have a dry bag, we sell them on-site. If you’re concerned about losing sunglasses, sunglasses straps are available for purchase for £5. ### Is the equipment provided? Our sessions include the use of our paddleboards, paddles, and mandatory buoyancy aids. ### Is the water clean? The Thames is currently one of the cleanest rivers running through a major city in the world, and is recognised as a massive environmental success story. It currently boasts about 325 wildlife species in its tidal stretches, including; cormorants, herons, seals, and perch, some of which you’ll be sure to see on your trip. You’ll also be sharing the river with lots of people who also use the water, especially rowers, kayakers, motorboats, and the occasional open-water swimmer! As a precaution for paddling in any inland water, open cuts should be covered with plasters and tape, and you should wash your hands with soap / antibacterial gel before eating any food. Take a shower if you fall in. ### Do sessions ever get cancelled? We occasionally cancel group trips if we do not have the minimum number of participants to run the session (this is rare between Spring-Autumn). We also very occasionally cancel if we deem conditions on the day to be unsafe (e.g. very strong winds, nearby thunderstorms, fast river flow, etc.), but we are not put off by wet weather. In fact, it’s lovely on the river in the rain! If your session is cancelled by us, you will have an option to reschedule. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/jet-form-builder/d3db718a011f94f39dd49b576d785b08/2023/09/Screenshot-2023-09-04-at-12.53.47-2.png - **Gallery image count**: 7 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
