Yes, participants should have basic paddleboarding skills, including standing on the board and paddling. ### What should I wear for the lesson? We recommend quick-drying sportswear and avoiding cotton, especially denim jeans, as they become heavy when wet. ### Do you wear shoes when paddleboarding? A question we get asked often by our visitors, the paddleboard is designed for bare feet to grip, so shoes will not be essential. So, when it is warm you can go bare foot no problem. However, in the colder months, you might want something to keep you a bit warmer like neoprene boots. ### Is paddleboarding safe for non swimmers? It is possible to paddleboard without knowing how to swim, although wearing a life vest will be essential. Therefore, it will be better it if you know how to swim as it is without a doubt that you will fall off of your paddleboard at some point! ### Is there a weight limit for paddleboarding? The amount of weight a paddle board can support is genrally determined by it’s size – the bigger the board, the more weight it will support. The average 10’6″ paddleboard can support approximately 110KGs However, there are boards that can support much more, so it’s just a matter of finding the right board for your size. Likewise, a lighter paddler might find an average 10’6″ board too cumbersome to paddle and there are smaller boards that would be more suited. ### How many calories do you burn paddleboarding for an hour? You can burn twice as much calories as walking with paddleboarding. On average, you might burn anywhere from 300 to 400 calories based on a light, recreational paddle. On a more vigorous paddle, such as a cross-training SUP workout incorporating yoga or something really rigorous like SUP racing, you could expect to burn over 750-to-1,000 calories! ### Is there parking near you? We are based on the towpath in West Molesey. It’s an easy place to walk and cycle to and we encourage all our customers to do that if possible – we have plenty of space for bike storage. If you are driving, the nearest free public parking is at Hurst Park. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://wp.adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/jet-form-builder/1fa8fc2d8fb27fda7e7ba23979568b3c/2024/04/Screenshot-2024-04-29-101100.png - **Gallery image count**: 11 ## 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.
