Founded in 1946, this canoeing section offers touring, fitness, competitive and whitewater paddling. Its roughly 250 members range from recreational paddlers to competitors. Summer activities include evening paddles, tours and courses, with swimming hall training in winter. Much of the work is done by volunteers.
Joining requires a paddling skills test with instructors or a basic course. Members can use kayaks, paddles, life jackets and spray decks. The club has boathouses on the Vantaa river and at Pornaistenniemi on Vanhankaupunginlahti, with limited storage for members' own equipment.
