No prior experience is necessary. Our paddleboard hire options cater to all skill levels, from beginners to advanced paddlers. ### Is it safe to paddle on the River Thames? Yes, we ensure a safe experience for all paddlers. Our team adheres to the highest safety standards and provides thorough instructions before you set out on the water. ### Are there age restrictions for paddleboard hire? All bookings must be made by an adult 18+, and at least one adult must accompany any junior paddlers on the water. ### 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. ### Do you have to stand on a paddleboard? You can paddle on your knees and you can paddle sitting down (but perhaps, it will be better opting for a kayak in this instance). However you chose to enjoy your experience, we’re with you. Paddleboarding has become a family experience with parents taking children and even dogs! ### 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! ### What muscles does paddleboarding use? One of the benefits of paddle boarding is that it works your entire body, not just your arms. Each stroke you take, you bend your knees, which means you are working your upper and lower calfs, hamstrings, quads and even glutes. You can expect your arms and back to be working just as hard, which will help to improve your balance and strengthen your core. ### What should I wear for paddleboarding? The basic rule is dress for the weather and local conditions. Take in to account the forecast for the day – if it’s likely to rain or get windy, make sure you have additional clothing in a fully waterproof bag (dry bag). In cold conditions you might consider a wetsuit or drysuit. Wetsuits are a foam based (typically rubber and neoprene) suit that water sport enthusiasts typically wear when they want some thermal protection without restricting mobility. ### 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/wp-content/uploads/jet-form-builder/2729f1c2eb62fb786edf1af844bce511/2024/04/IMG_0245.jpg - **Gallery image count**: 13 ## 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.
