On colder days it is recommended to bring a warm hat and gloves, as well as some ski/wool underwear for under the wetsuit.
On our IPP2 course rescue drills are an essential element, and you will need to get in and out of the water repeatedly, so it can be a good idea to bring several sets of warm underwear on the colder days. On warmer and sunny days bring an extra t-shirt which you can wear while kayaking which can protect your shoulders from the sun.
On our IPP1 course you will be going in the water at the very end of the course. Expect whatever you are wearing in the kayak to end up wet, but on warmer days swim/sports clothes can be a good alternative to a wetsuit.
In addition to this, bring towel, water flask and hat/sunglasses/hat.
It is possible to buy lunch at Kayak Bar.[/accordion_item][accordion_item parent_id=”” title=”Can we bring our children on the water?” id=”” class=”” style=””]It is on you own responsibility to bring children on the water, but our double sit-on-top kayaks can take up to two adults and one to two young children, depending on size.
