Stand Up Boarders and Paddle Boarders

Stroud Valley Canal Company welcomes stand up boarders (SUB) and paddle boarders and this new and existing use of waterways is already being encouraged and is being used an increasing amount by local paddle boarders and stand up boarders who wish to enjoy the variety and tranquillity of the Cotswold canals.

This sport can be enjoyed in both winter and summer months by either individuals or groups. However, in order for you to paddleboard on the Cotswold canals, you will need to have your own insurance.

You can find out more about the sport from Paddle UK .
