Cold fingers when paddling? Gloves may be an option, but these can interfere with grip and paddle feel. There is another option; the Pogie!
The Pogie is a “pouch” which attaches to the paddle shaft allowing you to slide each of your hands into their own little windproof shelters. These are relatively cheap to buy, and if you’re talented with a sewing machine can be made at home.

Marathon racing is conducted in divisions; the lower divisions can use any sort of kayak or canoe but higher divisions use specialised marathon boats, long, narrow and very unstable when stationary!
Canoe polo is played by teams of five and the basic aim is for them to pass the ball from player to player, by hand, and score in their opponents’ goal while at the same time defending their own goal.
Slalom competitions take place every weekend throughout the country. Division 4 is suitable for beginners of any age. Slalom helps with the development of speed, boat control and white water skills which can be used in all aspects of canoeing and kayaking.
