Welcome

We are a friendly, fun loving family club that takes a pride in developing paddlers’ skills. We paddle on a number of rivers throughout the region and beyond.

Whether you want paddle kayaks or Canadian canoes, take on the challenge of white water, surf, the open sea or just enjoy a quiet paddle down one of our beautiful rivers we will have something for you.

The club draws paddlers from a wide area around Bristol and welcomes all ages and abilities.  We encourage beginners to take up the sport, develop their confidence and learn new skills.  For more experienced paddlers we offer the opportunity to develop your skills or have fun on the water with other paddlers. We have an active coaching programme that aims to help paddlers develop the skills they need to go paddling in a safe and enjoyable way.

With around 100 members, a great selection orgainsed of trips and courses and a large fleet of canoes and kayaks we are able to help beginners get started in this fantastic sport and more experienced paddlers try something new.

During the summer we hold training sessions at Saltford Shallows that can lead to BCU 1* and 2* qualifications.  We also have pool sessions throughout the year at Yate Leisure Centre. More information on these and more can be found in the "Paddling" menu above.
