How this is paid for. Two declared lines, both visible on every page. A paid register of surf schools, coastal clubs, water safety training providers and outdoor instructors, listed alphabetically, labelled as paid, sold on disclosed verifiable facts and never ordered by merit. And a newsletter sponsor line with a published rate card. A listing is not a safety endorsement. We have assessed nobody. Neither line can influence a word of the guidance, and the list of what money cannot buy is published in full at criteria and rates.
No products, no affiliate links. This manual names no brand and recommends no product anywhere, and carries no affiliate or referral links of any kind. Where a category of equipment matters, we describe what the category has to do and leave the choice to you.
This is not medical advice. Nothing here diagnoses, assesses or treats anything. If you have a mole, a patch or a mark that is new, changing, bleeding, itching or not healing, that is a question for a GP, not for a website. Start with the NHS. For water safety, follow the RNLI.
