Paddle Outlet

The right choice depends on how you plan to spend your time on the water:

• Kayaks: These open cock-pit models are our best-sellers for beginners and families. They are incredibly stable, easy to get in and out of, and available in 2+ person (tandem) designs for shared adventures.
• Canoes: Best for those who want to carry gear, or bring the dog along. Canoes offer more "cargo" space and a traditional seated or kneeling position giving a relaxed feel.
• Paddleboards: Choose a SUP if you want maximum versatility, a full-body workout, and a craft that is easy to transport (especially our inflatable models).

Stand Up Paddleboarding involves standing on a large, buoyant board and using a long paddle to navigate. It is one of the world's fastest-growing watersports because it’s easy to learn, offers a great core workout, and provides a unique "bird's-eye view" of the water. We stock a range of boards from inflatable "all-rounders" to high-performance hardboards.

When buying your first craft, you'll need a few essentials to get on the water safely:

• The Essentials: Beyond the boat or board, you’ll need a paddle and a high-quality Personal Flotation Device (PFD) - which is the most important piece of kit you'll own.
• Apparel: For open-cockpit kayaking and SUP, we recommend quick-dry fabrics (nylon or polyester) rather than cotton. On cooler days, consider a wetsuit or a poncho for afterwards.
• Accessories: Don't forget a dry bag for your valuables and a leash for your paddleboard.

Absolutely. Modern equipment is designed with "primary stability" in mind, meaning the boards and boats are wider and more forgiving than ever before. We have a great range from beginner friendly to advanced.

Paddling is a safe and rewarding hobby when you have the right equipment. We only stock brands that meet high safety standards. When you buy from us, we ensure you have access to the correct safety gear - from PFDs to helmets and leashes - so you can explore your local waterways with peace of mind.
