How it works

From idea to first outing

Nothing to install and nothing to pay. Most paddling clubs are live before the coffee goes cold.

  1. Step 1Fill in the basicsA name is all we require. Add where you meet and a line about who should join, and the page is live.
  2. Step 2Share one linkDrop the invite link into your group chat. Anyone who taps it lands straight on your roster, free account and all.
  3. Step 3Run it from the appPlan the next outing on the shared calendar, keep the chatter in one place, and watch the group move on the map when you meet up.

Yours to run

Your paddling club, your rules

A paddling club is not a page we own and rent back to you. You decide who sees it, who joins, and who helps run it.

Public, private, or unlistedList the paddling club for anyone to find, keep it members-only, or hide it and let people in by link. Change your mind whenever.
Approve who joinsPrivate paddling clubs hold every join request until you or an admin approves it. Nobody lands on your roster by accident.
Promote adminsShare the load. Owners can promote members to admin, and admins can manage the roster and send invites.
Your photo, your detailsUpload a cover photo and keep the description, meeting info, and website current from the manage page.
A verified badgeNew paddling clubs get a quick review. Once it passes, the listing carries a verified badge and can turn up in search.
Members never payEveryone you invite joins on a free account. The paddling club tools cost nothing, for you or for them.

Questions

Starting Paddling Clubs

Yes. The page, the roster, invites, group chat, the events calendar, and the live outing map are free, for you and for every member. Businesses pay us to list and subscribe. Paddling Clubs do not.

They can find you and join from the website. Chat, the events calendar, and the live map on outings live in the app, which is a free download.

You decide. Public means listed in the directory and open to join. Private hides it from everyone but your members and holds join requests for approval. Unlisted keeps it out of the directory and lets people in by link.

Plenty of long-running paddling clubs are already in the directory. Search for yours and claim it instead of starting a second page. Claiming is free and hands you the listing.

About a minute. Only the name is required, and everything else can be filled in later from the manage page.
