We don’t know about you, but we’re always looking for new places to paddle and people to paddle with. Well, look no further than AquaPaddle.

AquaPaddle events are similar to Parkrun. They are a free-timed 5km challenge on the water. They provide the opportunity for kayakers, canoeists, and stand up paddle boarders to get together on the water to have fun, enjoy nature, and improve skills, fitness, and wellbeing.

These social paddles take place on weekends across the UK and are suitable for all crafts and abilities. There are 40 (and growing!) locations across the UK. 

We’re really excited to share that affiliated club Stratford-upon-Avon Kayaks has joined the AquaPaddle family. 

In support of AquaPaddle, Paddle UK is committed to providing essential safety equipment and crew kits. Gregory van Heerden, Paddle UK’s Recreational Programmes Lead, recently delivered waterproof radios and AquaPaddle flags to Ed Smart, Captain of AquaPaddle Stratford-upon-Avon, at Paddle UK’s head office in Nottingham, ahead of their inaugural event on Sunday, 25th August 2024.

The first Stratford-upon-Avon event was a resounding success, with a strong turnout. Ed Smart expressed his enthusiasm, stating, “This has been a wonderful opportunity to bring together the paddlesport community in Stratford-upon-Avon while supporting the charitable work of AquaPaddle.”

He added, “I encourage everyone who can, to get involved. A massive thank you to our crew from Stratford On Avon Kayaks (SOAK) and SUP Stratford for making this possible.”
