Paddlesports offer something for everyone, from calm steady paced touring on canal and placid waters to competitive sprint racing and facing the challenge of racing down raging torrents. From exploring fantastic coastal scenery by sea kayak to performing the ultimate playboat moves while ‘playing’ and ‘shredding’ the river. Paddleports offers something for everyone young or old.

 

Paddling can offer a relaxing, once or twice a year tour on a local canal, an adventurous trip, or expedition on the thousands of miles of waterways in the United Kingdom and the Continent. An interest in Paddlesports can be an all consuming hobby, exciting, challenging and testing on white water, on the sea or through the numerous competitive disciplines.

Choose the level of challenge to suit. Paddle for enjoyment, to keep fit or, if you have kids, paddle as a family and enjoy the experience together.

The British Canoe Union, as governing body of paddlesport, have an established range of discipline committees to help promote and inform on aspects of their discipline specialisms. We also promote a large network of competitive events offering the chance to take part in ‘Taster Events’ and perhaps even the real chance to represent your country.

While many canoeists may not be interested in competition at any level one common theme of all types of Paddlesport is that your enjoyment will increase as your skill level increases.

To find out more about the various paddlesport disciplines or to make contact with the various discipline committees check out the discipline hearings on the left.
