Fitness
Kayaking involves physical effort, so you should be in average fitness and be able to sit upright while paddling. If you are okay walking about 3 miles on a forest path, this is a good guide. Our tours are about 2.5-3 miles. Paddling a surfski does require good core strength.
In the event of a capsize, you need to be able to get back on board with assistance. This is like climbing out of a swimming pool by pulling/sliding yourself onto the poolside (without pushing off the bottom of the pool with your feet). Contact us if you or a party member is unsure about your fitness level or is disabled. We’ll try to suggest a solution or adaptation to your activity, so you have a good experience.
Heights and weights
For your enjoyment and safety, please provide your clothing size so we can ensure you have the correct size surfski and kit. If you weigh over 15.2 stone (96kg) or have a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 33+, you must tell us your height and weight (use the additional information section). If your BMI score is above 34 (or you weigh more than 17 stone/108 kg), unfortunately, our surfskis are not suitable for you.BMI calculator.
Our surfskis will not fit paddlers over 6ft tall due to the seat and rudder control design.
If your skill levels require further development to use surfskis safely, we may need to switch you to a more suitable (and slower/more stable) craft. This is to enable you to progress safely. We have a wide range of sit-on and sit-in kayaks.
Novice paddlers should consider our daily sit-on-top sea kayak tours.
