These guys put customer service first and foremost I cannot praise them enough. Little touches like including sweets or wipes with minor purchases makes you feel they really care. For all your paddle sport needs these are the people.

My son and his friend did a Summer camp at the Canoe Centre. They enjoyed a brilliant week with Instructors Dan and Susan. Great equipment and great gear provided. They are now hooked and will be back for lessons in the near future.

Great shop, well stocked and run by helpful knowledgeable staff who definitely know what they are talking about. Good realistic advice offered to other customers while I was there too. Worth a visit if looking for kayaks etc, they have a lot more I stock than they could possibly list on their site.
