Kit & equipment

The majority of the equipment required for your weekend is provided by us. It’s worth considering that the more you bring, the heavier and bulkier your kit and harder it will be to portage (carry around locks and other obstacles). The key is finding the balance between comfort and necessity. Please check the weather forecast for Bath close to your departure to help with your packing!

We provide:

  • Stand Up Paddleboard

  • Paddle

  • Waist leash

  • PFD (Personal floatation device)

  • 22 litre and 13 litre dry bags (This will be enough space to carry a change of clothes and a few extra warm clothes for the evening and night time, some toiletry essentials and your camping equipment. Lightweight is the name of the game though!)

  • Sleeping mat

  • Bivvy bag and tipi tarp

  • Camp cooking equipment

  • Spork

  • Dinner and breakfast expedition meals

You will need:

  • Warm, lightweight sleeping bag (2 or 3 season) -bulky and heavy sleeping bags can be a challenge to carry

  • Lightweight warm jacket (down or synthetic)

  • Packed lunch for both days. Make sure that your day 2 lunch does not need refrigerating as you'll be carrying it with you from the outset.

 How fit do I need to be?

You'll need a good level of fitness for this trip with 6-8 hours of paddling each day. Day 1 is a 20km paddle and day 2 is approximately 23km.

You'll be carrying your overnight kit in a dry bag on your board which does add to the weight when portaging your board.

What level of SUP skill is required?

This SUP weekend is specifically designed for paddlers with prior experience, so you need to be at least an experienced beginner.

Due to the challenging nature of covering 43km in just two days, it is not suitable for complete beginners. If you have never been on a board before, we recommend that you attend a few of our SUP Club sessions prior to coming along.


Over two days, you will journey through some of the UK's most scenic waterways, supported by expert guidance and coaching. We provide top-quality gear to ensure your experience is as rewarding as possible. Join us to enhance your paddling skills in a supportive and breathtaking environment.
