With the recent announcement by Brock College that they intend to cease running Hengistbury Head Outdoor Centre, this sadly means that we no longer have access to the centre and the facilities that we have enjoyed such as boat storage and changing rooms. The SCC committee are currently exploring all available options to keep the club running in some form.
Equipment
Southbourne Canoe Club (SCC) has a range of equipment to support members who do not yet possess their own. This is loaned for a small charge. The equipment currently owned by SCC and the Outdoor Centre and available for hire comprises of:
- Kayaks (sea, inland)
- Open Canoes
- Buoyancy aids
- Spray decks
- Paddles (left & right handed)
- Helmets
- Rescue Equipment
Wetsuits are available to borrow in a number of sizes at no cost, but paddlers must otherwise provide their own clothing suitable for paddling in. Items that you should bring, apart from yourself (weather dependent) include:
- Splash top (Cagoules)
- Change of clothing
- appropriate waterproof footwear
- Towels
- This list is not exhaustive
