Highlights
Outing Highlights
BSUPA Ready2Ride card mandatory
Due to the location and operating rules, every participant must hold a BSUPA Ready2Ride card; under‑18s are not permitted and non card holders will be refused entry.
Private launch — fees included, gear and instruction excluded
The launch fee is included but equipment hire and instructor supervision are not; expect a check‑in, changing and a dry‑land introduction before water time, and complete your waiver before arrival.
Mandatory buoyancy aids and leashes
For safety at this site, buoyancy aids and board leashes must be worn at all times when SUPing; shoes are recommended for entering and exiting the water.
What the day feels like
What the session feels like
The flow is procedural and focused: arrive early for check‑in at the reception/Byrney's Beach Bar, complete the waiver and prepare onshore (changing and a short dry‑land introduction), then move to private water time under the site’s safety regime — you must hold a BSUPA Ready2Ride card and follow on‑site safety rules throughout.
