If you want to try paddleboarding, there’s nowhere better (or more beautiful) to do it than wild West Wales.
Paddle lazily along slow-flowing rivers past ancient woodland and picturesque castles or head out on your board into exciting coastal waters on the perfect Pembrokeshire adventure.
Typically, a half-day session is 3.5 hours from meeting to goodbyes. You’ll usually spend around 2 to 2.5 hours on the activity itself, depending on how quickly you can get your wetsuit on!
Come dressed for the weather in comfortable clothes, and bring swimwear and a towel. We’ll provide wetsuits and any other specialist or safety clothing you need for your session.
For Paddleboarding, you’ll need trainers that you’re happy to wear in the sea. If you don’t have suitable ones, we have spares you can borrow. Beach shoes and water shoes will also be fine.
No. We’ll provide all the specialist equipment you need for your chosen activity, including wetsuits and all necessary safety equipment.
You’ll just need to bring the personal items mentioned for your activity, such as swimwear, a towel and suitable footwear.
Yes, you can use some of your own equipment, but we generally recommend using ours as it’s specifically chosen for the activities we run.
You’re welcome to wear your own wetsuit, although we recommend using one of ours. Our 5mm winter wetsuits are designed to keep you warm in Pembrokeshire waters, and activities such as coasteering can be tough on wetsuits, particularly around sharp rocks. If you choose to wear your own wetsuit or other personal equipment, you do so at your own risk, including the risk of damage or loss.
If you’d like to use your own safety equipment, such as a buoyancy aid or helmet, one of our team will need to check it before the session. It must be suitable for the activity, in good condition and within the manufacturer’s recommended lifespan. We may ask you to use TYF equipment instead if we don’t consider your own equipment suitable.
If you’re unsure, bring it along and we’ll take a look.
At TYF, we take your safety seriously and ensure that every participant has adequate supervision from a qualified expert. Our instructor-to-participant ratios are:
Paddleboarding – 1:8
Please arrive roughly 10 minutes before your session so that we have time to get you properly kitted out in good time for your adventure.
We’re pretty hardy here in West Wales, so our activities go ahead in most weather – it’s all part of the adventure!
Sometimes, though, weather and sea conditions mean it isn’t safe or appropriate to run the activity as planned. If that happens, we may change the activity, move to a different location or, occasionally, cancel the session.
We keep a close eye on the conditions and will contact you as soon as possible if we need to make any changes. If you haven’t heard from us, please assume your session is going ahead as planned and come prepared for the weather.
The minimum age for paddleboarding is 8 years old. We don’t have specific height or weight limits, but you do need to be able to comfortably and safely fit the equipment required for the activity.
Our wetsuit range currently goes up to a women’s size 18 and a men’s 3XL. If you’re unsure whether we’ll have suitable equipment for you, please get in touch before booking and we’ll be happy to advise.
Paddleboarding requires a reasonable level of fitness, mobility and balance. You’ll need to be comfortable getting on and off the board and moving between kneeling and standing positions. You don’t have to stand up to enjoy paddleboarding, and you can spend some or all of the session paddling from your knees if that’s more comfortable.
If you’re unsure whether paddleboarding is suitable for you or someone in your group, please get in touch before booking and we can talk through what’s involved.
Paddleboarding is an active activity, but you don’t need to be super fit to take part. You’ll need a reasonable level of fitness, mobility and balance and should be comfortable being active on the water for up to 3 hours.
Paddleboarding involves paddling, balancing and moving between sitting, kneeling and standing. You don’t have to stand up – you can paddle from your knees if that’s more comfortable, and there will be opportunities to rest during the session.
Our guides will adapt the pace and level of challenge where they can, but you’ll need enough mobility and balance to get on and off the board and take part safely.
If you’re unsure whether paddleboarding is suitable for you or someone in your group, please get in touch before booking and we can talk through what’s involved.
Having a medical condition doesn’t necessarily mean you can’t take part, but we do need to know about anything that could affect your safety or ability to participate.
Please tell us about any relevant medical conditions, injuries, medication or other concerns when you book. If you’re unsure whether an activity is suitable for you, get in touch before booking so we can talk through what’s involved.
In some circumstances, we may recommend a different activity or ask you to seek advice from a healthcare professional before taking part.
You can find us here.
No problem. If you have any further questions about our TYF adventures, please get in touch with us for a chat via our contact page. We’re always happy to help.
