Portsmouth Canoe Club

Welcome

The Committee is working hard to safely manage a return to kayaking activities.
All members should read the documents in the Covid-19 section of the Members website

(Note only accessible to Club members)

Latest update from the Chairman 14/07/2020
Please be aware that due to the current Covid situation we are unable to accommodate any complete beginners this year . The minimum standard expected would be some paddling experience and be able to demonstrate a SAFE WET EXIT from a Kayak ( with a spray deck on).

Thanks for your patience during this tricky time.
Tony Hart

We are a friendly canoe club loosely based in Portsmouth and the Solent area, but with members from all over the South Coast and beyond. We welcome anyone interested in kayaking; from novices to experienced paddlers.

We have regular evening paddles and training sessions, trips each weekend all year round and weekends and weeks away. In the winter we run a indoor pool session for acquiring and improving paddling skills.

We are always keen to welcome new members, and are BCU affiliated

Why not join us, we paddle all the year round. Portsmouth has access to a wide variety of saltwater from sheltered harbours to tide races and the challenge of circumnavigating the Isle of Wight. This is Sardinia below where we have also been.

If you are new to paddling then come along to our Monday sessions in the summer to try out paddling and meet Club members.

After completing safety drills and acquiring basic skills, you can move to evening paddles on Wednesdays for more advanced skills, fitness training or even just for fun!
