Glow SUP near Seaford

Some previous paddleboarding experience is recommended for Glow SUP, as the session takes place in low light conditions. You should be comfortable standing on a board, balancing, and paddling on calm water. If you’re new to paddleboarding, it’s best to complete a beginner or taster session first so that you’re confident handling your board.

That said, instructors are there to support you throughout the session. They’ll give a clear briefing before setting off and stay close to the group to provide guidance and reassurance. The pace is relaxed, making it accessible for improvers who feel ready to try something new.

Wetsuits, windproof tops, and buoyancy aids are included in your session, so you’ll be fully equipped for the water. You just need to bring suitable footwear that you don’t mind getting wet, such as neoprene shoes or old trainers that stay secure on your feet. Avoid slip-on shoes, crocs, or heavy boots as they’re not suitable for paddling.

A towel and dry clothes for after the session are also useful, especially if you plan to stay for a while or drive home afterwards. Changing facilities and showers are available onsite for your convenience.

Each paddleboard is fitted with waterproof LED lights that illuminate the water around you. The lights are positioned under the board so that they glow outwards, creating a beautiful halo effect as you move. This helps you see the water surface and nearby paddlers clearly, while also adding a fun and distinctive visual element to the session.

The lights are powered by rechargeable batteries, which are checked and fitted by instructors before every outing. They’re bright enough to create visibility without disrupting the calm evening atmosphere or wildlife in the area.

Yes. The session takes place on the sheltered waters of the Cuckmere Meanders, which are calm, shallow, and well-suited to evening paddles. It’s a managed environment where instructors are familiar with the routes, tides, and safe stopping points.

Instructors carry safety equipment and maintain constant communication with the group. Conditions are always assessed before launching, and sessions may be rescheduled if the weather or water levels aren’t suitable.

If the weather conditions are unsafe—such as strong winds, heavy rain, or poor visibility—the session will be postponed or rearranged. The safety of paddlers is always the top priority, and the team will contact you with as much notice as possible if a change is needed.

On mild evenings, light wind or drizzle usually doesn’t affect the session. Glow SUP is often most atmospheric in slightly overcast or cooler conditions, so cancellations are rare unless it’s genuinely unsuitable.

The minimum age for Glow SUP is 16. Those aged 16–17 are welcome but must have a consent form signed by a parent or guardian. They should also be accompanied on the water by an adult who is confident paddling independently.

This age guideline ensures everyone is capable of handling their own board safely in low light conditions. The instructors will provide extra support for younger paddlers if needed, but they must be comfortable paddling on their own.
