Yes, the minimum age to go out on the water independently is 16 years. Are you younger? Then an adult must come along. In addition, basic swimming skills are a must. Check out our 10 rules for carefree paddling for a smooth and safe start!
Wear something sporty that allows you to move freely. In warm weather, swimwear is sufficient; in cooler weather, an extra layer is recommended. On a SUP, you have more grip barefoot, but it can be a good idea to bring flipflops or water shoes if you want to dock along the way.
We will provide you with a SUP or kayak, paddle, and a waterproof bag for your belongings. Suppers get a leash around the ankle, kayakers a life jacket. We don't provide wetsuits, but you won't need them in the summer!
A towel always comes in handy - sometimes your adventure ends wetter than expected. Sunscreen and something to drink are also recommended. Donβt let the heat catch you off guard. βοΈ
Store your belongings safely in the locker, but don't leave your phone there - you'll need it to open the locker later. So be sure to take it out on the water! This way, you can reach us in case of problems, capture your adventure on video (and tag us via @dobberlife). Don't worry, you get a waterproof bag to keep your phone dry.
πΆ Kids: The little ones can join a duo kayak, between the legs of a parent. From the age of 10, children can paddle independently in a kayak or SUP, but always accompanied by an adult. You can only rent it yourself from the age of 16.
πΆ Dogs: Your dog can go on the SUP or kayak. Bring a towel for their comfort and to prevent damage to the equipment. Please note: you remain responsible for your dog.
β οΈ As a beginner, avoid major channels such as the ringvaart. Also, always stay away from ports and locks, where there is a lot of shipping traffic.
Each location has clear zones where you can and cannot paddle. We have some beautiful paddling routes developed; make use of it!
Be sure to also check out our 10 rules for carefree paddling so that you can get off to a good start.
