The booking is about three hours including changing, with time on a sheltered stretch before the coast opens out. Inflatable boards, wetsuits and buoyancy aids are included, and photos come with the session. 📋 Key Details Duration: About 3 hours including changing Meeting point: Confirmed the day before, Mullion Harbour or Cadgwith Minimum age: 14 years Group: Maximum 12 people Kit: Inflatable paddleboard, paddle, wetsuit, leash and buoyancy aid 🏄 Key Skills Standing and a steady paddle stroke Turning and stopping the board Using a leash and buoyancy aid on open water Reading wind on the Lizard Falling off and climbing back on 👀 What to Expect The day before we send the launch, parking and start time. On the day you kit up, hear a brief on the board, then paddle a sheltered stretch before the route follows the cliffs and coves. The guide stays with the least confident person and keeps the group together. Please arrive 15 minutes early. Footwear that can get wet is required; bare feet are not allowed. Wind is the main reason we cancel or move. Light rain does not stop the session. 📍 Location Sessions run from Mullion Harbour or Cadgwith on the Lizard Peninsula. The square at The Lizard, TR12 7NJ, is the area pin. You cannot pick the harbour when you book. We send SMS and email with directions and parking. Both launches sit a short drive from the Lizard village. ✅ Prerequisites No paddleboard experience is needed. You do need to be able to swim, as the tour is in open water. The minimum age is 14. Bring swimwear, trainers or water shoes, a towel and any medication. Flip-flops are not accepted. Your own shorty or full-length wetsuit is fine. ⭐ Why Choose Us An AALA-licensed team has run paddlesport on this peninsula for more than 20 years. The launch is chosen the day before so you are not leaving a harbour into a wind that does not work. Boards are inflatable and stable, and photos come with the session. If you want the guide to yourselves, book the private Lizard paddleboard session instead. ### Essential information _None._ ### What’s included Guided group session of about 3 hours including changing Inflatable paddleboard, paddle, leash, wetsuit and buoyancy aid Safety brief and a launch chosen for the day's wind Photos from the session ### What’s not included Transport to and from the meeting point Trainers or water shoes (required) Swimwear and towel Parking at the chosen harbour Personal insurance ### Kit list Swimwear Trainers, water shoes or wetsuit boots A towel and warm dry clothes Sunscreen and sunglasses Any personal medication ## FAQs ### Where will we paddle? Mullion Harbour or Cadgwith. We choose the day before based on wind, swell and sea state, then send directions and parking so you know where to leave the car. You cannot pick the harbour when you book. Wait for that message rather than driving to a spot you have guessed, as the wrong cove can add a long walk with a board. ### How long is the session? About three hours including changing and the brief. Time on the water is usually a little under that, depending on the group and the wind. Arrive 15 minutes early so changing does not eat into the paddle time. If anything about the booking is unclear, send a message before you travel and we will sort it. ### Do I need paddleboard experience? No. The first minutes are on a sheltered stretch so you can stand and paddle before the coast opens out. The guide stays with the least confident person. If you already paddle, say so at the start so we can give you more coast and less first-stroke talk. ### What is the minimum age? Fourteen. Open-ocean paddleboarding on this coast needs that age for balance, strength and judgment in wind and swell. Younger children are better on a kayak tour, where they can share a double with an adult, or on a Mega SUP with the family from age 12. ### What should I bring? Swimwear, trainers or water shoes, a towel, sunscreen and sunglasses. Flip-flops and bare feet are not accepted. We supply the board, paddle, leash, wetsuit and buoyancy aid. Your own shorty or full-length suit is fine. ### Do I need to be able to swim? Yes. The tour is in open water. A buoyancy aid and leash are on the whole time, but you still need to be comfortable in the sea if you come off the board. If anyone in the booking is unsure, tell us when you book rather than waiting until you are already at the water. We would rather move you than have you struggle on an open-coast paddle. ### What if the weather is poor? Light rain does not cancel a session. Wind is the main reason we move or cancel, because it affects balance and how far the group can travel. The other Lizard launch is the first option. If we cancel, we rearrange. The day-before message is also when we confirm the sea is usable. ### Are photos included? Yes. The guide takes pictures during the session and shares them afterwards. You do not need a phone on the board. We cannot promise a shot of every cove. The priority is the group and the sea. Ask the guide at the end how the pictures will be sent, as that can change with the size of the group. ### Can I join on my own? Yes. Solo bookers join other people on the same slot and have their own board, so you are not sharing a craft with a stranger. If you want the guide to yourselves, book the private Lizard paddleboard session instead. That listing keeps the same launch and kit, just without other bookers on the water with you. ### Will I fall in? Quite possibly. Standing on an inflatable board in small swell is part of the session. The wetsuit and buoyancy aid stay on, and climbing back on is part of the brief. If you would rather stay seated, say so at the start. The guide can keep you on your knees until you are ready to stand. ## 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/2023/06/sup.jpeg - **Gallery image count**: 3 ## 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.
