Board
If your doing one of our bodyboard or surf weekends you can bring your own equipment. Alternatively we have a range of top quality equipment to hire.
Helmet
Depending on the activity, you may need a helmet. We are as serious about safety as we are passionate about coasteering. Each person is fitted with a ‘Nookie’ helmet. Nookie are the market leaders in safety equipment. Their helmets are comfortable, adjustable and offer unrivalled protection.
Buoyancy Aid
Depending on the activity you may need a buoyancy aid. Above your wetsuit but below your rash vest, you’ll be wearing a YAK buoyancy aid. These lightweight flotation aids are ergonomically designed to offer maximum buoyancy and comfort whilst not impeding your coasteering experience.

For some activities you may need trainers. We have a large range of resilient sports trainers available to rent. So instead of you worrying about ruining your own shoes, you can concentrate on enjoying the wild ocean adventure.
