Everyone should have the opportunity to experience the joy of paddling, whatever the purpose and regardless of physical or mental functionality. Paddling an open canoe or a kayak can range from recreational trips on a lake or out in the archipelago, to precise and determined training and competition on elite level. Paddling can be a good way to become part of a social community and to ensure equal opportunities to training and competing. Paddling is an excellent way to sense the freedom of mobility.
