JOIN US
No doubt you will have seen the pictures and read the blogs of people, all sorts of people, having fun on their boards. We are a community of paddle boarders who want to explore our environment, the waterways near and far.
We are a growing family, some of us like exploring the back waterways, finding new places to paddle. Some like to race, others just relax and drift on the current, before paddling for home. We are all Dittons Paddle Boarders.
We offer training through our coaching partners, for those who would like it, at a discount. We organise safaris, with other clubs to new waterways. We have regular social evenings in The Prince of Wales, in Hampton Court and other pubs close to our paddle bases.
We have fun, and get fit along the way.
