Hi all - bit of an odd title i know!

Ive just started to really enjoy beginners white water and really see it as somthing id get into.

But ive now been told i probably have to have dentures (mid 50's). I wondered if anyone else dealt with this.

I know the ovbious thing would be to take them out when kayaking but im going to be super self concious. But also thought i still need to be able to speak communicate, wondered about having a secondary set and using dental fix to keep them in place. Or maybe a boil and bute denture just for when your on the river in case lose them during a big rapid or roll or somthing. Anyway bit of an out there question i know but anyone else who had to try and work it out be great to see what you did :) really dont want want getting dentures to stop me doing this

Hi,

I’ve recently moved to Kew, Richmond and would like to try Kayaking.

Few newbie questions:

1: can someone please recommend somewhere I could get an initial lesson

2: How much am I looking at for a full set up with half decent equipment

3: any other key bits of information?

I’m not the strongest swimming, but think this will be a really fun and interesting hobby.

Thanks

Has anyone been Paddleboarding or Kayaking on the River Cam?

I found a little place hiring Canoes and Paddleboards - The Black Shed (great breakfast BTW) but I'd like to take my own... I'm wondering if anyone knows any good launch spots and would I need a license?

T.I.A.
