Canoeing

Canoeing

Canoeing is known to many people as a river-based activity. Canoeing at sea can also be done, but is not comparable to canoeing on a river. The waves provide a new experience. First, try to brave the surf and stay in control of the waves. You can do this for example in Westende (Beachclub De Kwinte) and in Ostend (Ostend Sailing & Phare East).
