Self Launch

Information

Our Self Launch sessions are for those of you who own a SUP board, or kayak, and want to get out on the water!
These sessions are up to 2 hours long, and are un-supervised, this means you are out on the main lake on your own. We have a rescue boat and procedures in place should they be needed, but please be aware, these sessions are not instructed or guided.

Before entering the water staff will let you know where you can and cannot go. Having a phone with you is mandatory and staff will ask for you to put our Emergency contact number in your phone before entering the water. This is in case of an emergency. You must also keep your buoyancy aid on at all times.

Self Launch participants are welcome to use our Hire and Paddle area as well as the wider lake. This allows you to paddle with friends and family who are renting our boards within the hire zone.
