Paddle Sports

Don’t be turned away from getting on the water! Kayaking features a closed-deck boat with a double-bladed paddle, while canoeing is done in an open-deck boat with a single-bladed paddle. Whether you’re paddling for fun or fitness, these sports help athletes build strength, coordination, and balance. With adaptive equipment like modified paddles, adaptive grips, and specialized seating systems, individuals with limited mobility can get into the action and enjoy the thrill of the water too. It’s all about having fun, improving skills, and experiencing the great outdoors!
