Following another successful year of paddleboarding in 2022, we are pleased to be bringing it back for 2023!

The sessions are open to everyone whether you are an experienced paddleboarder or a novice it’s about having fun!

Mark Keeler, CEO of Keeler Recruitment.
“Now approaching the third year of ‘boards on the broads’ I look back to how this started and why I do this!
The first year was born out of necessity of ensuring business professionals were given the chance to network at a time when the country went into lockdown. Having raised £1,000 for EACH Charity, I made the decision to run this event for the second year. With over 100 people taking to the water at the same time as learning a new sport, this enabled people to network with each other in a fun way whilst raising money for worthy a charity. Now entering the third year with the same passion I had in year one, we very much look forward to sharing some fun times with Norfolk professionals on the boards in those summer evenings.”
