Vancouver Whitewater Club

For All things Whitewater...

Borrowing VWC Club Gear

The VWC has a range of whitewater kayaks, skirts, paddles and other gear to support club members to get out on the water and try different boats!

 

Once you are comfortable in the water, addicted to the sport, and have an idea of what gear works for you... we strongly encourage members to purchase their own equipment! Club gear is not intended to be borrowed on a permanent or long-term basis.  

​

Who Can Borrow Club Gear: 

  • Current VWC Club Members

  • Membership fees must be paid for the year  

​

How to borrow gear? ​

  • Please fill out the form below, and we will get back to you, but as the club is volunteer run it may take a week or so to be able to arrange as we try to get multiple people to get gear at the same time.

  • Attend a VWC Gear Day to sign-out gear.

  • Note, gear is available on a first come first served basis. Depending on the demand, we may have limited options, so we encourage you to request early to have the best selection! 
     

How long can you borrow gear for? ​

  • Gear can be borrowed for all the Cap Sessions, but should be returned by the club Chilliwack Social.

  • If the gear you have borrowed is requested by another club member, you are limited to 2 week borrowing periods.

Member Responsibilities 

  • It is your responsibility to ensure you make it to one of the Gear Days to pick up or return gear, respecting the two week policy, and to declare any losses or damages. Late fees may apply.
