Participant Requirements

Listed here are the requirements that participants shall meet for taking part in our activities.

Since safety is both our main concern and a cornerstone for any successful and fulfilling open-air experience, many of the requirements set forth below aim to keep the safest possible conditions.

The majority of these requirements are common to all our activities, while there are some that are specific to each activity, so they vary according to what is stated in the single activity sections of this site.

 

Specific Requirements

  1. Kayaking pre-requirements: according to what is stated in the single activity sections of this site.
  2. Medica assessment: for those activities of ours where this is required, all participants shall e-mail us, well in advance of the activity date, a medical certificate assessing that they are fit for participating in non-competitive sports activities.

 

Common Requirements

  1. No fear of water: All participants shall have an acceptable degree of familiarity with sea water, though all of us – no exception – will wear our personal flotation devices at any time when kayaking.
  2. Disabilities:
    1. Weaker persons and those affected by physical disabilities shall be able, as a minimum, to stay seated without aids and use their torso, arms, hands and neck to an acceptable degree of flexibility. Participants with physical disabilities shall inform us in advance.
      1. As to our base in Salivoli, venue of many of our activities, you can find the following situation:
        1. Though there are no barriers between the car park, the street and the beach, there still is a steep descent, made in concrete, twenty metres long, connecting the road and the beach. Be prepared.
        2. Those using a wheelchair or other aids will be helped by us and by the group if requested. Be prepared to receive or give help, with people, kayaks and equipment.
        3. Beach bar, restaurant and relating toilets, available in the opening months and hours, have no or slight barriers. Inland toilets and showers require going up a slight 50-metre ascent and then up a five-steps stair. Take into account such situations and ask us for more information, if needed.
      2. When we chose different bases, we do what needed in order to facilitate the access for people with disabilities. In such cases, we provide further information, so that participants can correctly prepare.
    2. Sensory disabilities do not hinder the enjoyment of kayaking. Participants with sensory disabilities shall inform us in advance.
    3. Persons affected by intellectual disability shall be accompanied by a third person responsible for them – an adult – and their participation in the event has to be discussed and planned in advance, between the persons responsible for them and us.
  3. Age:
    1. Minimum age to take part in our events is 14 years, with the exception of Kayaking Test, available for all ages.
    2. Underage persons: Persons aged from the minimum age stated above but still below the age of legal majority shall be accompanied by an adult responsible for them.
  4. Acceptance of and compliance with our Terms and Conditions.
