I love running courses to progress folks from beginner to improver; learning life saving skills and having fun in the water 🌊

Ask yourself 3 questions before you set off:
– Am I confident I have the KNOWLEDGE & SKILLS for the day?
– Do I know what the WEATHER will be like?
– Do I have the right GEAR?

🚨 It's time to expose the polluters 🚨
These brands are responsible for 70%+ of branded pollution found on cleans of our blue and green spaces 😡

End of days capitalism is Jet2, Tui and Love Holidays still sending out holidaymakers to Rhodes.
A non-functioning government is one that doesn’t advise against travel.
Consumerism is still flying out in case you don’t get a refund.
Code red for humanity. 🚨
The stuff of nightmares but it’s real life. And we’re still flying. 😖 #DontLookUp teapawt.net/hughesy_1985/status/16…
Hearing multiple reports of people on paddleboards drifting out to sea doesn’t make anyone feel safe or confident.
Why does this keep happening?
A few thoughts in 🧵
1) There is absolutely no advice for people who may turn up at their local supermarket to buy a paddleboard ⬇️
4) Many folk say that education is important, but how many do we alienate in the process because “we live on an island and know about the sea”? Language and outreach matters.
Don’t usually post too much water safety advice on this account because I know our audience are careful peeps, but just in case- please don’t be tempted to go for a swim in the sea tomorrow-because it looks like this and quite unsafe 👇🏾. Please and thanks 💖
Paddleboarding in the city
With so many beautiful waterways in the city, you can always pop on for a relaxing paddle. Weekends away are great, but we love a doorstep adventure 👌🏾.
