Adaptive paddling

Adaptive paddling

Today was spent with a rather special lady, not the gentleman in the photo, but i wanted to show an image of what is possible if the approach is one of can do, not can’t do.

i have worked with this lady before, having lost both hands, and both feet, as a quadruple amputee her life took some directions she had not planned.
We met, along with her support team and her physiotherapist at Victoria Quays in sheffield.

A stunning location, with assistance we lowered her into a 2 person kayak and fitted some awesome adaptations which allowed her to use a paddle, there are many variations available and although it’s a work in progress she is able to paddle competently.
Her aim is to cover 5 miles and is building stamina and skill. Today we travelled just over 3 miles. Passing through 200 yr old landscape of industrial Sheffield.

Nothing is impossible, and adaptations are available. Get in touch, you may be amazed at what we can achieve,
