Allow Paddlesports

Allow people to drive to lochs and rivers to kayak/canoe/sup.

Great for mental health and physical exercise.

I agree on allowing flat water paddling or surf but river trips are near impossible to do without sharing kit or cars or doing rescues. The SCA did have some vague guidelines before they said all activity should stop so they can just clarify those guidelines.

Looking forward to being able to SUP on canal. Can be done without contact with anyone. Please can restrictions be lifted!

Yes, subject to being able to get to and from water while maintaining distancing. Defo no probs with circular trips on the sea or lochs or playing on a wave. Rivers are a bit more tricky, but bike shuttles or shuttles with members of the same household would be possible. I would love to get out on the upper Clyde. It's less than a mile from my house, and we could arrange a shuttle within the household (or make my son bike it!).

Also important that eveyone paddles well withing capability, so no epics for a while yet!
