Frequently asked

Do I need to bring my own paddleboard?
No — you can add board hire to your booking, or bring your own kit if you prefer. Just choose how many boards you need when you book.
How early should I arrive?
The time you pick is when you can get on the water. Please arrive at least 15 minutes beforehand to check in and get ready.
How long is a session?
Sessions are 2 hours on the water. When you book you can add extra hours if you'd like longer, subject to availability.
Is it suitable for beginners and children?
Yes. The lakes are calm and sheltered, making them ideal for first-timers and families. Under-18s must be supervised by an adult — see the supervision ratios below.
What adult supervision do children need?
For everyone's safety, legal supervision ratios apply. Under-8s must share a board with a supervising adult, or be 1:1 with an adult on an adjacent board within immediate reach. Children aged 8–14 are a maximum of 2 per supervising adult, who must be on the water with them. Minors aged 15–17 may paddle their own board independently, but a supervising adult must stay on-site at Duncton Mill for the whole session. You'll confirm your group meets these when you book.
Is there a lifeguard? Do I need to be able to swim?
There is no lifeguard on duty — all water use is at your own risk, so everyone paddling must be a confident swimmer. A limited number of flotation vests are available on site, so please ask when you arrive.
What should I bring?
Swimwear or clothing you don't mind getting wet, a towel and a change of clothes. Showers and changing rooms are on site.
What happens if the weather's bad?
Light rain is no problem, but if conditions are unsafe we'll be in touch to rearrange your session. Please get in touch if you're unsure.
