Sites

Hi, thanks for learning more about the sites we’re establishing as part of the Blast Paddlers network of paddling groups around the world.

The Blast Paddlers network is rolling out in the following countries. Regions still being established are marked as “pending”. Those where we are still in discussions with potential local partners are marked as “TBA” or “to be signed”.

If you are in any of these regions and are either a local club looking to join a rapidly growing community of paddlers around the world who enjoy the benefits of holding events run to a common set of tried and proven standards, using a common methodology, set of processes, tools and systems designed to make the challenge of running paddle groups and events simpler and safer, allowing you to focus on the fun parts – we’d love to hear from you today.

If you are a paddler in any of these regions, we’d love to have you join Blast Paddlers by registering online and joining one of the existing paddle groups. If there isn’t already a paddle group in your local area, why not consider launching your own local Blast – it’s really quite easy and we support you all the way.
