Epic Life
About
Epic Life brings the thrill of water sports to the heart of East Sussex and Kent. Whether you’re a novice looking to learn the basics or an experienced paddler seeking new challenges, our expert instructors guide you from the tranquil River Rother at Bodiam and Wittersham, to the breezy beaches of Hastings and the calm waters of Tonbridge. With an extensive range of activities – from short, lively Social Paddles to intensive PaddleFit core‑strength sessions – there’s something for every age and skill level. Beyond the paddles, Epic Life also hosts vibrant social events such as Paddle & Cocktail and Hastings Paddle & Chat, offering a relaxed blend of sport, conversation and refreshments. Epic Life’s friendly, family‑friendly environment welcomes everyone, from solo travelers craving adventure to corporate groups looking for a unique team‑building experience. The team’s safety‑first approach ensures all participants, whether they bring their own board or hire from our well‑maintained fleet, enjoy a secure and enjoyable time on the water. The experience is incredibly flexible: sessions are available in one‑hour taster sessions, two‑hour adventure rides, and longer fitness‑focused PaddleFit classes. Hiring options let you choose from paddleboards, sit‑on kayaks, and even the newly launched Mega SUP, making it easy to tailor your outing to your preferences.
