Our instructors are trained to handle a variety of scenarios to mitigate risks, from sudden weather changes to encounters with marine life. We prioritize your safety above all else. Accessibility & Inclusion Â
At SUP Englewood, we’re committed to providing an inclusive environment and accessible experiences for all, while adhering to the highest safety standards. To ensure that everyone has a safe and enjoyable time on the water, we kindly ask that all paddlers be capable of the following:
- Mobility: The ability to enter and exit a kayak with reasonable assistance.
- Communication: The ability to follow verbal instructions and to signal for assistance when necessary, such as by blowing a whistle.
- Safety Equipment: The necessity to wear a life vest at all times while on the water.
- Emergency Procedures: In the unlikely event of a capsize, one must be able to maintain a floating position that supports proper breathing until assistance arrives.
For individuals who may require additional support, we offer specialized services to meet your needs. We understand that each paddler is unique, and we strive to accommodate everyone to the best of our ability within the scope of safety regulations.
