Keep those toes warm and comfortable. A good quality set of paddling footwear is essential to keep you safe and warm when paddling, and a great Christmas gift. Getting the right type for the discipline is the trick. A polo or slalom paddler may prefer a slim wetsuit shoe. A white water paddler needs a sturdy shoe for walking on rocks and conducting rescues.

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.
