Riverside Twilight: Social Paddle Boarding from Elmbridge Canoe Club.
Join a two-hour evening paddle from Elmbridge Canoe Club where competent paddlers bring their own board and kit to link up with fellow SUPers in a lively, peer-led social setting; the exact route is decided by the group and one of the club’s safety-and-rescue-qualified members will be present to meet and greet.
Highlights
Outing Highlights
A peer-led evening paddle
This is the club’s regular Thursday social paddle — an informal, risk-assessed session designed to bring paddlers together for two hours of riverside time and conversation.
Pick a line with the group
Rather than a fixed itinerary, the group decides where to go on the night, offering flexibility based on skills, conditions and the crew assembled.
Qualified oversight, personal responsibility
Sessions are risk-assessed and a safety-and-rescue-qualified club member attends, but participants are expected to self-assess competence and the ability to self-rescue.
