Paddle with Us
Come try
It doesn’t matter if you are a complete novice or an experienced kayaker, you are welcome at our club.
If you would like to try before you buy, potential members are allowed three free club paddles, before we ask if you would like to join.
If you are a novice, please don’t rush out and buy a kayak. Reach out via Contact Us and our membership coordinator will be in touch. The coordinator will arrange for you to come to one of our paddles usually on a Monday, you’ll be able to borrow a kayak and equipment and we’ll make sure one of our experienced members is there to help you with your first tentative strokes.
So where do we paddle - check out our paddle schedule.
