Adults – Join Us

The adults section encompasses the full breath of kayaking expertise and aspirations. If you are looking for opportunities to tour new waterways, test your endurance on the world famous 125 mile Devizes to Westminster, or try international descent racing or surfsking then make Wey your home!

We welcome university students (both “out of port” and visiting paddlers) and have a growing community of young adult paddlers.

Volunteering and contributing to the overall club experience is important to us and we would encourage you to get involved, on or off the water.
