Who are We?

Tynemouth Canoe & Waveski Club  was established over  30 years  ago , with
its first incarnation as Killingworth Canoe Club in 1978. The club has
developed and changed a lot over the years and now has more members than
ever before.

TCWC is an affiliated member of the British Canoe Union ( BCU ) and is
governed by their codes of practise.

 

What's our Objective?

To encourage as many people as possible to come and experience paddlesport.
We have qualified coaches at all indoor and outdoor sessions who can teach
you  all the basics or  help to  improve your existing skills.

We have a range of boats available for everyone to get started, whether your interest is sea kayaking, river running or surfing.

Where are We?

The club is based at Tynemouth Longsands beach. From here we have lots  of
paddling options available nearby, including local rivers, sea trips, surf
and pool sessions  held at Tynemouth Pool.  We often go further afield to
try other rivers e.g. Kelso to paddle the Tweed or down to Yokshire to the
river Swale. We also have regular weekend camping trips, ideal for all the
family.
