About us


Founded in 2003, Bude Canoe club celebrates its 20th year this year!


We are a group of paddlers of all ages, that come together from all over Cornwall & Devon.


The club has offered Surf Kayaking and Canoe Polo over the years, but we have recently branched out to offer more...


The club is very proud to have trained and been home to many National and World Champions too!


We offer Winter & Summer sessions, with something for everyone.


Take a look at what we get up to!

The club offers various types of kayaking, with some of the best paddlers in the sport!


Take a look below!

What we do...

General Paddling

Everyone has to start somewhere.... We all did!

Thats why our Winter Sessions are fantastic for new paddlers and those who want to brush up on their skills.

Come and join us at one of our pool sessions where one of our friendly coaches will assist you where you need some help.

Surf Kayaking

The club has a history of producing world class Surf Kayakers, and we have some that coach our club sessions.

Who knows, you could be next!

Canoe Polo

Its fast, its crazy, but such great fun for everyone!

No matter your paddling experience, come and give it a try!


White Water

A great way to explore whilst kayaking. Different grades create different difficulties, meaning once you’ve got your core skills, you can work your way up.

A Man and a Woman on Paddleboards

Stand Up Paddleboard

A relatively new form of paddlesport which is accessible to all.

Whether its flat water or in the sea, its definitely worth trying!

Andy Hambley Trophy

Bude Lifeboat Day - Canoe Polo Tournament

August Bank Holiday Monday

We are so pleased to announce that we have named this competition in memory of Andy Hambley.

Andy was a member of Bude Canoe Club since it was formed, and contributed so much during his involvement.

He was an incredibly talented paddler, where he would be most comfortable; surfing, playing polo or running rivers.

But it was the energy and love that he had for inspiring and teaching those around him in the most natural and chilled-out way possible.

In 2015, Andy sadly passed away and left both the club and its members greatly missing his light-hearted, bubbly, and incredibly generous personality.

He would always attend the Bude Lifeboat Day Canoe Polo Tournament and is jointly responsible for there being a Polo team at Bude at all.

For that reason, we are so incredibly grateful to his wife and family for allowing us to honor him and his love for the sport and the club by naming this tournament's trophy,


The Andy Hambley Trophy.
