Whoosh Explore

A great club for learning how to paddle a canoe, kayak or SUP.
From weekly basic taister sessions through to longer club trips on the River Stort and other local rivers.
The club also provides organised paddling sessions for Scouts, Guides, Schools and other youth groups in the warmer months.
There are regular club trips to add interest throughout the year, with trips on white water and other interesting waterways.
The popular monthly "Full moon" evening paddles to the Three Horseshoes are an atmospheric alternative to normal daytime paddling.

I've been a club member with Whoosh Explore for seven years now, since retirement. When I joined the club, Peter, Helen and other club members made me feel very welcome and coached me on the basics. I would throughly recommend Whoosh Explore  if you're interested in learning water sports. Great club.
