Paddleboard Hire - Richmond Upon Thames

So you've joined one of our sessions, you've had a blast and may have even taken a dip in the Thames but you've fallen in love! Yes, we've all been there but now what?

Why not head out on your own adventure?

We have a range of great quality boards that you'll have already played with on our previous outings for you to take out on your very own adventure.

What's included and how much is it going to cost me we hear you say!

Well, £30 will buy you 2 hours of fun and relaxation on the Thames with one of our paddle boards (either a 10'8", 12' or 12'6"), Paddle, Buoyancy Aid, Sunglasses strap all included.

Your safety on the river is our priority so board hire is only available to those who have been out with us before on one of our instructor led sessions and if you are competent, can swim 50m & have no difficulty getting back up on the board unassisted.

Before you head out we require:

  • Photo ID & Bank card (nothing will be charged unless authorised)

  • Each participant to complete the LSUPCo Waiver

Once on the river, you are required to:

  • Remain within Richmond and Teddington Lock's

  • Wear your Personal Flotation Device (PFD) at all times

  • Stay on the right hand side of the river while paddling

  • Show respect towards all other river users

  • Give right of way to all other vessels

  • Follow the guidelines outlined in the PLA's Tideway Paddle Code

*LSUPCo reserves the right to end a session early for non compliance
