Junior Club Members; ‘’the younglings’’ had a great evening of paddling on Tuesday last, this was specifically for the younger members and they all enjoyed getting to know the boats, paddles, PDF’s and Helmets and learning how to paddle in the water.

Kayaking Beginner Sessions continue on WEDNESDAY evenings at 7pm. Our qualified instructors will show you some of the techniques and disciplines of paddling. All equipment including kayaks, helmets and buoyancy aids will be provided. Anyone interested should message us on Facebook www.facebook.com/laoiskayak or send an email to info@laoiskayak.com.
