If you would like to take a board and various paddles for a few days to try them out and see what suits you best, then you are welcome. The paddle is the most important part of your kit and trying different ones is crucial. We have demo paddles for all the manfactuers we supply.

There is also a great deal of saftey information that you need to know so this is also a big part of our taster sessions.
