Maidstone Canoe Club

SUPs - Stand Up Paddleboards - are a fantastic and accessible way to explore the river, get out into the natual environment, as well as have a good time and meet new people!  This fun course will take place over two days on the beautiful river Medway, and will give you the skills you need to confidently control the SUP.

Please note all courses must be pre-booked - all novice paddlers must attend one of our beginner courses.  Full details of the courses and how to get involved in paddling (including how to join the Club if you're already an experience paddler) are available on this page - please take a look if you haven't already.

Our courses cost £65 for adults and £45 for children, and are run by our friendly qualified coaches.  They consist of 8 hours coaching time - either 4 x two-hour sessions, 2 x four-hour sessions, or occasionally 1 x eight-hour session- and follow the syllabus for the nationally-recognised British Canoeing Discover Award.

Your coaches for this course will be Steve Chinn. It is suitable for ages 16+.  The dates for this course are:

Session 1 & 2: Saturday 9th July

Session 3 & 4: Saturday 16th July

If you can't attend one of the sessions, please let the coach know and we'll try to fit you in another time.  Please arrive at 9:00am - we will aim to be on the water by 9:30am.  Please make sure you've read our "What to Wear" page!

If you'd like to attend the course, please fill out the form below to sign up.  If you've got questions or have any problems, please contact us and we'll do our best to help.

See you on the water!

This course begins on Saturday 9th July
