In the last two years especially, we have seen more and more new and beginner paddlers hitting the water and spending their time enjoying the outdoors and our variety of wonderful blue spaces. We were all new to paddlesport at one time or another – what advice, suggestions and recommendations would you give to our new paddlers to help them along on their own new and exciting paddlesport journeys? If you’re a beginner paddler yourself or are hoping to take up our wonderful sport, what burning questions do you have that our vibrant and supportive paddling network could assist you with?
Some paddle topics to consider could be:
Safety
Clothing
Personal responsibility
Blue spaces – lakes, rivers, seas, canals etc.
Access to blue spaces
Waterways licences, permits and launch fees
Craft, maintenance and accessories
Wildlife & environmental factors
Recreational paddling
Competitive paddling
Paddle clubs and centres
