We are a family friendly kayak club, offering sea paddling from Combe Martin Beach. On Wednesday evenings April - September we run a peer paddle, as well as occasional trips out from other places. We run occasional trips away, for example 5 days in Cornwall, and participate in other kayak excursions, for example Channel Events' Springboard to Summer.
