Whether you participate for pure enjoyment, the thrill of a challenge or you have ambitions of becoming a Paralympic champion, Paracanoe may well be the sport for you!
Paddling allows family and friends to experience exercise and challenge that is therapeutic for both mind and body. More importantly, canoeing is pleasurable and fun! Together, able bodied and disabled can share all aspects of the sport.
Paracanoe has two seperate disciplines, the kayak (K) and the Va’a (V). The kayak is a boat that is propelled by a double blade paddle, and the Va’a is an outrigger canoe with a support float on the side that is propelled by a single blade paddle. Each of the below clubs can provide paddlers with both recreational and high performance opportunities.
