Finally bought a kayak or a paddleboard but need to get some practice in?
Join us at Pinkston in a safe and accessible environment!
While we do provide kit hire, this session is aimed at those who already have some paddle skills and water confidence as this is a self-led session. By self-led we mean that while there will be an instructor to greet you and make sure you are prepared to go on the water – they will expect you to have been on a paddleboard or in a kayak before, and the instructor will not be leading the session. Please get in touch if you are not sure if this session is suitable for you or if you have any further questions.

A : Yes, we have a free to use carpark with more free street parking on Boron Street (road directly up the hill from the main gates)
Q : Are there showers and hair dyers?
A : We have changing facilities with hot showers but no hair dyers. We do have outside plugs if you wish to bring your own.
