Rhodes University Canoe Club

falo, kudu and waterbuck. The club does both flatwater and river races every year, with the FISH River Canoe Marathon, in Cradock, being the highlight of the canoeing calendar. The club will get you your flat water proficiency as well as your river proficiency (which is needed to do any river race) and qualify you for ‘A grade’ races like the FISH. In order to qualify for the main event that everyone wants to do (THE FISH), we go to Cradock a few weekends of the year and teach you how to river paddle (on the FISH) and learn how to go down rapids and weirs etc
We have two memberships: 1) Social and 2) Full member. Social membership allows you to get transport to the dam and use of paddles and canoes. Full membership includes transport to training at the dam races, and tripping weekends, camping fees at races, a bit of subsistence money for race weekends, the use of club equipment.
