DavePaddles Diary

About us

We are a small but developing club. Established as a Paddle UK affiliated club in Dec 23. with Leaders, Coaches and Paddlesport Instructors with a passion for Paddlesports we aim to supply high quality training with enjoyable multi craft trips that cater for every paddler.   We are based in Rickmansworth, Hertfordshire. We paddle sheltered water trips regularly covering a variety of waters including the whole of the non-tidal river Thames (in sections) and various other rivers and canals. We welcome new members, our annual membership is just £52, or £35 for a summer only membership. We paddle Sundays, and occasionally other days that may be requested.  While most of these trips are local, we also run trips away and overnight camping.  Non-members are allowed to join us for a small fee.

Recent trips are documented in our BLOG pages.

We can offer the whole range of personal performance awards, Start, Discover, Explore and Paddle Safer. These awards are tailored to the needs of the paddlers and are delivered at various locations.

We and our partners can also deliver:

  • SUP Hire and training.
  • Paddlesport Safety and Rescue course. Training and Assessment
  • Paddlesport Instructor. Training and Assessment.
  • Paddlesport Leader Training and Assessment.
  • White Water Safety and Rescue.

As well as a host of other courses and Qualifications.

Going forward, more Coaches and instructors will come onboard, and we will be working with other Paddlesport clubs and Charities including blue space and AquaPaddle.

From Paddleboards to Inflatables, Canoes or Kayaks, We cater for all.
