PSC Stand Up Paddleboards for PSC members to use

Who can use PSC SUPs?

Our SUPs can be paddled by adult members. Junior members may also use a board if they are fourteen or over and accompanied by an adult on a board. Younger members wearing a buoyancy aid can be carried as passengers by adults.

Wetsuits are available for members to borrow from the Green Container if needed.

Safety Protocols - please read these carefully before you book a board.

• Handle the boards with care, particularly on the shore and when launching, the skegs are especially vulnerable.
• Ensure the board is inflated correctly before launching, it should be hard. If it is not there is a pump available.
• Launch from in front of the clubhouse i.e. not from the slipway or dinghy beach.
• Stand in the water when getting onto the board, i.e. don’t step from the bank directly onto the board, and when getting off step back into the water and not directly onto the land.
• Before standing up ensure that you are far enough away from the bank so that if you fall off you won’t hit the hard edge.
• The board’s leash and a personal buoyancy aid must we worn at all times when on the water.
• ‘Wet shoes’ or similar should be worn.
• Be aware that offshore winds may make it difficult to paddle home.
• Observe the 20m exclusion zone around the lake, i.e. stay at least 20m away from the bank and from the island.
• You should only launch and land inside our compound, i.e. you should not leave the lake.
• Be aware of other water users and paddle considerately.
