Crabbing
Swanage Pier is a prime location for crabbing. Everyone loves the thrill of dangling their lines and waiting for a critter to take the bait! Things often get competitive...
About the kit
It's important that you feel safe with us. Rigorous kit checks and careful maintenance are a daily occurrence and we update our boats, ropes and paddle boards regularly. We provide a well-fitting wetsuit and buoyancy aid for every watersports activity.
What to bring
For activities on dry land, wear comfortable layers and sturdy footwear such as trainers or walking boots. For water based activities, we recommend wearing swimwear under your clothes to make getting changed nice and easy. Bring an old pair of trainers to wear in the water - Crocs are REALLY not suitable.
