New Paddlers on the Water!

This week, a brand new group of beginner paddlers from Die Bron Primary in Stanford began their paddling journey on the river with Rodger and Hayward.

They’ve joined the programme full of excitement and curiosity - and they’re stepping into it just as Sakhe returns from Azerbaijan, showing what’s possible when young talent is given a chance to shine.

It’s amazing to see how one rising star can inspire the next wave of paddlers. We’re so proud of all of them!
