What is Blast Paddlers

Blast Paddlers is a project launched in November 2008 by Dez Blanchfield in Sydney, Australia, with the goal of building a repeatable, scaleable model by which a world wide network of paddling groups could be built

Blast Paddlers methodology and tools are designed to support clubs and event operators to run events to a common safe, fun, and easy to run professional grade format, offering paddlers from all levels access to consistent, safe fun events, and a community to be part of.

As a result of the success of the Blast model, we're quickly becoming one of the fastest growing paddling groups in the world, and we'd like you to be part of it.

We offer paddlers the opportunity to take part in regular weekly and monthly events.

We offer clubs, groups or individuals the tools and support to start and run a local Blast Paddlers group in their local area.

All paddlers are welcome:

• Surf Skis
• Outriggers
• Kayaks
• Canoes
• Plastics
• Standup boards
