Fancy a paddle along the Island’s beautiful East Coast? Registration has now opened for The Wave Project’s Paddle Out Loud, which is set to take place at the end of the month.
Paddle Out LOUD is a series of unforgettable fancy-dress paddle events across the UK. Hundreds of paddlers will be paddling a craft of their choice, all with the aim of raising money for surf therapy charity, The Wave Project.
The charity’s award winning intervention is now delivered at 12 locations across the UK, including Compton Beach here on the Isle of Wight.
It’s fundraising events like Paddle Out Loud that make it possible for The Wave Project to help change the lives of many young adults and children with a mental health issue.
Paddle Out Loud is not a race, it’s a fun, family friendly event that is open to everyone. A great team bonding day out of a way to get friends or colleagues together for a day of fancy dress fun on the water.
Wave Project Isle of Wight Coordinator, Abbie James said:
“We’re so stoked to bring Paddle Out Loud to the Isle of Wight for another year! We hope to raise lots of funds for our surf therapy courses and looking forward to watching the paddlers.”
Paddle Out Loud Isle of Wight will be offering 2 paddles on Sunday 30th April, the main 10-mile paddle will launch from Niton and the 2.5-mile paddle will start from Shanklin, with both paddles ending at Sandown. With the English Channel on the right and spectacular coastline of the Island on the left, this route makes for an epic paddle for all abilities.
The event will end with a BBQ to enjoy after an exhilarating paddle. Registration will take place at 08:30 with the main paddle launching at 09:00.
