Freestyle
Whatever you can do with a skateboard you can do with a playboat, these boats are designed for performing various tricks and maneuvers from cartwheels to aerial loops. The competitive side of this sport is known as freestyle and the club boasts some of the top freestyle paddlers in the UK. Definitely the coolest paddle sport on the planet.

Slalom
As its name suggests slalom involves going between poles suspended above the river. The aim of the sport is to complete the course as quickly and as cleanly as possible. This is an Olympic sport, and slalom competitions are held for all levels of paddler at events through out the country most weekends.

Touring
Many of the clubs members enjoy inland touring, either in kayaks or open canoes. There are several trips and tours organised by the club through out the year. These give paddlers the chance to chill out, socialise and enjoy the bankside wildlife. Recent tours include the River Severn, Wye and of course the Nene.

River Running
This is a form of river touring for those looking for more of a white knuckle ride. These trips are usually undertaken in buoyant plastic kayaks, on fast flowing whitewater, bumping and scraping over rapids, rocks and even the odd waterfall. Don’t be put off by the fast and furious nature of the sport the club runs low level trips suitable for
even the most tentative of white water warriors.

Marathon Racing
There are several types of marathon racing, these mainly take place on the placid water of rivers and canals. The Hasler events are suitable for all abilities and race over distances of 4 to 12 miles split into 9 different divisions. As well as the Hasler events there are also plenty of non league events such as the Devizes to Westminster Canoe race.

Wild Water Racing
Wild water racers compete over stretches of fast flowing whitewater, shooting rapids and weirs finding the fastest route downstream. A good entry level event into Wild Water races are the Wave Hopper Challenges these use specially designed plastic river racers which are ideal for novices. Several of these challenge events are held here on the White Water Course through out the season.
