RIVER & COASTAL SUP RETREATS

Yes! All of our lessons and packages include FREE wetsuit hire.

Of course you can! If you only have a shortie or are unsure if it still fits you (don't worry it happens!), let us know what size you are anyway and we can bring you a suit just in case. 

Let us know what dress size you wear (Women’s 6 - 20).

• A swimming costume/shorts  
• A beach towel
• Some flip flops or shoes to walk over the pebbles (if needed)
• Any medication you may need (eg. Asthma inhaler)
• Warm clothes to change into afterwards
• A big smile and a sense of adventure 

Our locations do not have changing facilities so we recommend wearing your swimming costume under your clothes. Tenby North beach has a cold water public shower that is free to use. All other locations do not have shower facilities. We recommend bringing a towel robe or Dry Robe to change after your session. 

The beauty of watersports is that anyone can give them a go! We have taken people on the water from every walk of life imaginable. All we ask is that you can swim at least 25m unaided as this is for your safety. 

We do ask that you can swim at least 25m unaided in order to join us on any one of our sessions. We recommend that you can swim at least 50m unaided to join us on one of our coasteering trips.

Yes! You can leave your car keys etc in our vans or our lock ups (depending on the location.) Outer Reef does not take responsibility for any items left and we do have limited space so please don’t bring your diamond jewellery and massive overnight bags! 

We use various accommodation providers across the South Pembrokeshire area including lovely country houses on the Stackpole Estate and hotel style seaside accommodation in Saundersfoot and Tenby. 

Most of our accommodation providers offer self catering faculties so you can make your own breakfasts. For lunches we recommend packed lunches or buy lunch at our location venues which all offer options for food. We will book a lovely pub for the Saturday evening so the whole group can enjoy a meal together. 

Of course you can! The majority of women who come along to our weekends come solo. We want to connect you with like minded ladies who enjoy similar activities!

Your accommodation will be well signposted with Outer Reef sandwich boards for your arrival and you can check in from 4pm. The following day your team of instructors for the week will meet you just outside at 9am for a meet & greet. 

Pembrokeshire and the locations we use for our activities are quite remote however we can offer advice and recommendations for local public transport options, just get in touch with us prior to your arrival. Once everyone has arrived for the weekend, we recommend car sharing as location venues can be busy. 

All our water based activities are subject to weather and surf conditions. We want to make sure you have the best possible experience on the water with us so we will email you the week before your arrival with a rough schedule based on the forecast and will fill in any gaps at the meet & greet.

The Price for our Weekend Sup Retreat is £395

“We are passionate and enthusiastic about what we do.  It has taken us years of exploring the river and coastlines of Pembrokeshire to discover the beautiful locations. The routes we have created are totally unspoilt and full of hidden wonders.  This makes our SUP weekend retreat a completely unique experience”

OUR LOCATION

If you have been out before with us, we may start from a beach instead.  The weather and local conditions of swell and tide will dictate our options on the day. 

We will pick the best and safest venue for learning and meet you 15 minutes prior to your lesson.
