    Hey!

    Does anyone know of clubs in South Dublin for beginners preferably with a good social side too? or any costal clubs? or introductory courses at weekends?
    I can canoe a little bit, I have no official courses but used to do it during the summer a few years ago, my friend has no experience but we would both love to start.

    Thanks!:D

    I did a two day course with:

    It was fun. We were mainly around Killiney and Dalkey. And seemingly we covered about 20km over the 2 days.
    Wouldn't mind doing another course with them or maybe I will check out some of the suggestions above!

    I did the 6wk beginner course with wild water last year, defo recommend them. It's good craic, plus you get to use their boats for a year after the course. Only thing is, because it's such a big club places on club trips are limited but they do have lots of weekend trips during the year and regular 1 day trips.
    It's a good hobby, you'll have a great time!
