Important Safety Information

• Our shop is located 300 metres (typically a 3-5 minute walk) from the closest launch point on the river. You will be provided a trolley with your kayak rental to walk your equipment to the launch point.
• Please look after the equipment, you will be charged for any damage on return of the equipment.
• We do not take responsibility for your safety whilst using the equipment. We provide safe, serviced equipment for your enjoyment. It is your responsibility to use the equipment and a safe, responsible manner.
• Hiring watercraft without prior experience is not recommended. We reserve the right to cancel your booking if we believe that you are not fit or safe to hire our watersports equipment. Find a local guide or activities centre such as wildswimbikerun.com who provide beginner lessons.
• We strongly advise that any users are confident swimmers. If you can’t swim and you fall off the board, regardless of wearing a buoyancy aid you can drown. Over 50 people a year drown in fresh water in England every year, don’t become a statistic.
• Hirers should have the relevant licenses or permissions to paddle on freshwater in the UK.
• The appropriate safety equipment should be used whilst using the paddle boards / kayaks such as the PFDs provided and coiled leashes.
• Assess the weather, water conditions, access/exit points to the water and your planned route to ensure the safety and enjoyment of your group.
• Paddle with some safety equipment in a dry bag containing but not limited to waterproofed phone, spare warm clothing, torch, first aid kit, snacks etc)
• Be mindful of your environment; clean boards before you switch waterways to help control invasive species and protect our native wildlife, only use authorised access points, be mindful of your environment waterways are thriving natural habitats don’t trample banks and waterbeds as these are homes to a wide array of wildlife.
• Leave no trace when you paddle, if you see some litter take it out of the water and dispose of it in a responsible manner. If nobody witnesses your heroic removal of the litter, tell us when you return to board and we’ll tell you what a legend you are.
• Respect other water users, understand the rules of the water that you are using and be courteous. As ‘Bill & Ted’ said, “be excellent to each other” there is too much negative stuff in the world at the moment so don’t take it out on the water with you.
• Please note that the information, expectations and terms we have listed are for your safety and other water users. We want you to have a fun and enjoyable day out on the water. Please do not think that we are being difficult, we just want to ensure that
