Kayaking (see also Sea Kayaking and Surf Kayaking)

Bude is well served with kayaking environments. The local rural canal system provides the perfect safe location to introduce young and novice paddlers to the sport, the harbour area allows for more adventure but still within the safety of Summerleaze Bay and then there's the open ocean for Sea Kayaking expeditions and Surfing. Our coaches are some of the best in the country with many years of experience and high level BCU qualifications.
