Kayaking, canoeing, and stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) engage multiple muscle groups, especially the core, arms, and back. It’s a great way to stay active and improve fitness.

You will meet new people

Paddlers are a friendly and welcoming group, and always keen to support new paddlers. Clubs will run taster sessions, and regular paddles or trips, and attract members of all ages and interests. 

Relaxation and Stress Relief

Taking part in Paddlesports has measurable physical and mental health benefits, and people who interact with blue spaces have found it to be a restorative experience, improving mood, increasing levels of happiness and reducing stress and anxiety.

Paddlesports are accessible to all, and they can improve motor skills, balance, co-ordination and concentration in people with disabilities.

Adventure and Exploration

Once you have mastered the basics, Paddlesports allow you to explore hidden coves, wildlife habitats, and scenic landscapes. It’s like embarking on a mini-adventure every time you hit the water. Whether you want to paddle along a calm canal or take on an adrenaline-inducing white water course, there really is something for everyone.
