Paddle through the heart of London with Active360 in Ladbroke Grove!
Join a group session on the Grand Union Canal in the heart of London! We will paddle up through Westbourne park/Maida Vale and through to Little Venice. Choose from Stand Up Paddleboarding, Kayaking or Canoeing. These are family friendly sessions and all abilities are welcome! The minimum age for these sessions is 11yrs - Under 18's must be accompanied by an adult.
This session will start and finish at our base in Canalside Activity Centre, Ladbroke Grove.
You'll be sharing your instructor(s) with other participants in a group session but, if you like meeting new people, this is definitely an opportunity to do so! You will get a chance to spend time on water with some interesting and like-minded people hopefully adding quality to your experience.
You'll be able to ask for technique advice and tips along the way. Don't be shy!
The session will start with a safety briefing and some land-based training before heading out on the water for a guided tour of Little Venice and beyond.
Weather conditions
Whilst we endeavour to carry out our SUP sessions, minimum numbers, instructor availability and weather conditions (If it is very windy or there is torrential rain meaning poor visibility) may mean we have to reschedule your lesson. We will always contact you to advise you as soon as we are able to discuss the options with you.
You do not need to be a proficient swimmer, but should be comfortable about falling into water while wearing a buoyancy aid.
A certain level of flexibility and ability to get up to standing from kneeling is required for learning to paddleboard.
You will need to shower / wash thoroughly as soon as possible after the session if you have fallen in or been splashed and need to ensure any open cuts are covered.
We have taken people with physical and mental disabilities out on the water however please contact us before booking as we may need to take you out privately to ensure you receive the coach's full attention.
We will also need to know of any recent injuries prior to the session.
What to wear?
Remember to check weather forecast and dress accordingly.
In warm weather (spring/summer):
Where can I leave my belongings?
There are lockers on site that you can bring your own lock for (similar to a gym). We have changing rooms and if you dont have a lock we can always lock away valuables for you.
The session will start with some land-based training at our base in Ladbroke Grove, before getting onto water and piercing through the heart of London on the Grand Union Canal. We will paddle through iconic London landmarks such as Little Venice.
