Lessons are held on the shallow, sheltered waters of the Basingstoke Canal at our Colt Hill Wharf Odiham and Barley Mow Slipway Winchfield Sites, which are perfect for beginners to find balance and build confidence, and the unique environment means wetsuits are not needed for our sessions.
​
90 Minute and 2hr sessions will include the teaching of additional paddle strokes, posture and form coaching and a longer practice and pleasure paddle with expert tuition, guidance and knowledge along the way.
​
Private Group and 1-1 Lessons are available on weekdays if you would like a more personalised service tailored to your individual needs.
