About
Our 11.4 Body Glove Stand-up-Paddle Boards are great for beginners and parents with younger ones together. Each hire comes with a paddle and a buoyancy aid per-paddler. Only over 18's can hire boards, but 2, 14-year-old teenagers can share a board. If supervised by a parent and the paddler/s stays within our marked area, then younger children can use a board on their own.
We also have 10.4 Body Glove Paddle Boards are great for those with some experience or smaller adults and teenagers as they are easier to maneuver for a smaller paddler.
