Paddle Up Club
The Paddle Up Club is a Paddle UK not for profit affiliated club.
Where does my membership money go?
The money you pay to the club goes towards the affiliation cost, which provides the club with public liability insurance. Membership fees are also used to purchase safety kit, and host club events. And most importantly hot chocolate and marshmallows for the club to have post-paddle refreshments.
Summer of SUP
As well as regular club nights, we participate in many SUP events. For example, SUP 12, Hayling Island, Battle of the Thames, Shepperton River Raft Race.
We also organise club camping trips such as Lake District, Oxford, Ely, Cambridge, as well as exclusive SUP safety sessions for members only.
