Hiring a SUP is a great way to have fun and to get a feel of what board might suit you best should you wish to buy your own board in the future.

All boards come complete with paddles ,leashes and buoyancy aids.

Red Paddle co inflatable boards
Most of out hire boards are in fact inflatable boards from Red Paddle Co.

These are high quality boards that can be used in just about all waters from sheltered Lochs and rivers to the open sea with small waves. They come self contained in their own bag and include a pump. There is no need for a roof rack.  Once inflated the boards offer a very stable platform from which to paddle.
