About us
We’re a community-led initiative, in East London, helping women, especially those from Muslim and global majority backgrounds, feel confident taking up paddling and getting on the water.Every woman should have the chance to try paddle sports, and we're here to help break down any barriers— whether it's cultural, religious, or financial.Since launching in 2022, we have grown from an 18-woman class to nine certified instructors and over 100 participants.Our aim is simple: to make paddling more welcoming, keep it affordable, and encourage more women to grow into community leaders.
