What kit can I borrow for courses and sessions?
The club has a range of canoes and kayaks that can be borrowed for
lessons, sessions and also trips. We also have cagoules, trousers, personal floatation
aids, spray decks, helmets and paddles.
So if you do not have any
equipment, just bring a spare set of suitable clothes (for getting wet) and you can normally borrow the rest. The
club has showers and changing facilities so that you can change into your
dry clothes after the session.
Canoes include various 1 to 4 person open
canoes (e.g. Mad River, Venture, etc.).
Kayaks range from
sea trip 'Carolinas', through various general purpose kayaks to a number
of smaller river running and playboats (e.g. Wild Things, Pyranha G3s,
Perception Arc & Whipits, Liquid Logic Lil Joes, Dagger Dynamos).
Over time, if you enjoy
canoeing/kayaking, we expect you will buy your own equipment and leave the
club's equipment for other newer members... When you want to know what to
buy, advice is contained on the Information page.
