Itinerary

1. Meet us at the Blown Away Shack this is on the West Sands beach, St Andrews. We are the third wooden building on your right as you drive down the beach road.

2. When you arrive for your session we will get you checked in and size you up in a toasty wetsuit so whatever the weather, you are guaranteed to be snug and warm.

3. We'll head down to the beach and teach you the basics on dry land so you are comfortable with the technique for the activity of the day. 

4. We'll then head into the water to put it all into practice what we have learnt on dry land.

5. We will be in the water for just over an hour so visit the bathroom before suiting up, public toilets are available across the road from the shack. 

What to bring

1. Towel

2. Swimwear for under your wetsuit

Please take into consideration the weather, all of our sessions are weather dependant. We take what we get and we don't get upset! We usually manage to make the most of what the weather gods give us!
