Canoeing and kayaking participation overview
Around 12,900 women canoe/kayak at least once a week.
Men are three times more likely than women to canoe/kayak at least once a week.
There has been a significant decline in female participation between 2008-09 and 2009-10, however this was after a year of massive growth, so the true trend is hard to gauge – it will be interesting to see how this develops in the coming years.
Over half of female canoeists are aged 35-54 - no other sport has such a large profile of this age group.
