We are pleased to announce that due to popular demand, we have increased the number of available places on our one day beginners kayaking ”Discover” course which takes place on Sunday 22nd May. We do require our club members to be able to paddle to this standard, so if you are interested in joining Southbourne Canoe Club, this is the course for you.

Our weekly Thursday evening paddles resume from Hengistbury Head Outdoor centre on 5th May.

Please arrive by 6:00pm, as we go on the water at around 6:30pm.

We have access to The Darwin room, which has toilets, a communal room and a small kitchen area.

Due to limited changing space at the centre, please consider coming along in your kayaking gear.

If you wish to borrow any equipment, (kayak, paddle, buoyancy aid, spray deck), we have plenty of kit you can borrow for just £1 per item, per session. You can pay for this in advance through webcollect.

Please see our training section for details of our upcoming beginners and improvers kayaking courses.

Our winter pool sessions are now available to book via our events page.

This year we have relocated to the pool at Two Riversmeet centre in Christchurch. Sessions are just £6 each, with the first session on 9th October, and will be available each month thereafter. Please see our events calendar for details.

Please note these sessions are restricted to club members only, however if you have not yet signed up, why not take advantage of our reduced price winter memberships?
