Freestyle

There is a growing community of freestyle paddlers within the club who help each other practice their skills and arrange frequent peer trips to local playspots & whitewater courses. If you are interested in freestyle then our enthusiastic members will be happy to help you practice and develop your skills.

Being nearby to the Thames Valley gives us easy access to some great freestyle spots such as Hurley Weir and Chertsey Weir, and the Lee Valley Whitewater Centre.
