Why paddle?

There are many reasons why paddling is a great sport and recreation.

Mental and physical fitness, relaxation, social connection, high-adrenaline thrills and Olympic pathways are just a few of them.

It’s also a great way to explore our beautiful Western Australian waterways with little impact on the natural environment.

We leave nothing but ripples.

Paddling also has some great benefits, here’s what our paddlers have said. Why not add yours to our paddle poll.
