Community & Events
We are proud of our thriving & welcoming community ethos. During 2024 several innovative initiatives were introduced to aide our community involvement :
Reduce-Reuse-Reinvent – We now recycle wet suits / kites via our collaboration with Lorna Doyle who is based nearby in Deal.
C.A.K.E. Project : (Community Access Kiting Enjoyment) – inviting local Schools & communities to participate in our kite “Taster” water sports lessons at highly discounted rates.
CRUSE Bereavement Charity – As part of our social inclusion ethos, we promote Mental Health & well-being for all. This charity offers a range of excellent resources to support those living with bereavement.
We are also liaising with other local groups to become more Disability inclusive – hoping to offer safe access & involvement in beach led sports for those living with learning disabilities or dementia.

Volunteers wanted
Our club days only happen thanks to members who give a little of their time. We’re looking for volunteers to help run club days through the year, such as:
- Halloween session
- Christmas session
- Summer party
- Kids Day and other club socials
No experience needed: whether you can help plan, set up on the beach, run a stall or spread the word, we’d love to hear from you.
