About Us

Whether you’re looking to learn the basics, want to improve your skills or why not set yourself a challenge, our expert instructors will be with you every step of the way in a safe, controlled and fun environment.


Our aim is simple: to inspire and instill a sense of adventure in everyone. Spend the day immersed in the most picturesque locations, whilst staying active in the Kent & Sussex sun. We have something for everyone and all abilities, from Paddleboarding (SUP) and Kayaking along beautiful rivers to escapades on the sea at Hastings.


We have something for everyone! If staying on the land is more for you, then why not book in for one of our axe throwing or archery sessions! These are great for groups, hen/stag parties and corporate events! 


So come and join us for your water sports fun. Bring your family along, a group of friends, work colleagues, kids, organise your stag & hen party with us or just come by yourself. The team love sharing their passion and knowledge and we look forward to seeing you on the water soon.
