The Paddle Centre

Never managed to stand up but really enjoyed it. Good instructions and excellent equipment.

​If you've been wanting to try Paddleboarding or Kayaking  this is your sign. The team at Paddle Centre has created such an amazing, inclusive space. I love how accessible it is for beginners and kids, but there's still plenty of challenge if you want to level up your game.
​Highly recommend checking them out if you want to stay active and meet some awesome local people.
​See you out there! 🙌

⭐ Great Kayaking Spot on the Hamble – Friendly Team & Perfect for Beginners

I went kayaking on the Hamble with the team at the Paddle Centre and it was brilliant. The staff were friendly, the kayaks were in great condition, and it’s ideal for beginners.

I’ve trained people who’ve never kayaked before, so I notice worn kit – these were solid.

Ignore the negative reviews. Just arrive 30 minutes early, listen to the briefing, and you’ll have a smooth, easy session.

We only went out for an hour, but it was calm, clean, and exactly what you want.

Parking tip:There are two car parks:Turn left just before you reach the Paddle Centre Or drive straight ahead and there’s another one right in front. 100% will be back on a longer route next time.
