Ever thought about Wildwater paddling?
A great way to get introduced is to join some of the flat water obstacle races. Our first events of the season start this Sunday May 31st with a flatwater obstacle course, designed to test your ability to manoeuvre around obstacles of floatation like buoys and trees. This is a perfect opportunity for new paddlers who would like to test their boat handling ability before entering races with greater water flow later in the season. Come down and check it out!

All our paddling discipline events are generously supported by Department of Creative Industries, Tourism and Sport and Healthway and we are very grateful for their continued partnership with Paddling in Western Australia.
