LiveWell have organised another instructor led Stand Up Paddle Board session for employees taking place on Saturday 29 October. Taking place at Booker Pond, Irvine, book your place on Connects here.
Paddle boarding is an increasingly popular water sports activity. Great for building not just core strength, this all-body fitness activity shares similarities to surfing and kayaking and it’s a great way to improve balance and coordination while enjoying the fresh air benefits of spending time with others on the water outdoors.
During the 2-hour session, you’ll be supplied with:
- A Sandbanks or Itiwit 10’6 or 11′ paddle board
- A Sandbanks or Itiwit paddle
- An ankle leash
- A buoyancy aid
- And a wetsuit

Run by Ayrshire Paddleboard Co (in collaboration with LiveWell – the Council’s healthy working lives programme) – the organisers reserve the right to change location or day within 24 hours and this is outwith their control as paddle boarding is very weather dependant.
