Affordable Kayaking
We want all children and youth, no matter what their background or circumstances, to be able to participate in paddling.
We are run by volunteers and provide free access to boats, equipment, and coaching.
PaddleAble is all about developing an inclusive paddling community and overcoming the barriers faced by those with disabilities to participation in sport for fun, wellbeing and competition. For further information click below.

Eastside Paddlers activities range from entry level kayaking, to paddling for fun and health and wellbeing, through to advanced competitive kayak racing. We cater to all abilities.
In addition to kayaking we are also able to offer opportunities for youth who would like to try waka ama (outrigger canoe) paddling.
We keep our overheads low as we have no clubrooms, and instead make use of public facilities and red zoned areas of Christchurch to deliver our services. We have a range of kayak trailers, are fully mobile, and are able to operate on almost any of Canterbury's waterways.
To undertake our mahi within the community and make kayaking available to everyone, we are dependent on our funders and those who so selflessly provide support for this undertaking. A big thank you to everyone who has contributed.
