It doesn't matter where you live in the UK, we use an App and a webpage to list challenge and race events being held around the UK (there are loads!) We have a first day of the month (evening) friendly team Zoom call, chat groups in the App specific to events and races, where team members find out who's entering, discuss logistics, ask and answer questions and help each other with information. Then we meet up at events and paddle, paddle, paddle! It's so much more fun being part of a team and having people to hang out with...so don’t be shy, join us today!

Great branded team togs are available to purchase in colours of your choice, made by our awesome partner Shoretees SUPwear. Online and face-to-face coaching opportunities and clinics with Anni Ridsdill Smith, are available all year round though there is n extra charge for these.
