You need* this to enter competition such as the DCPL, marathon races, Summer polo competitions, freestyle competitions, Slalom competions and possibly varsities ( depending on the hosts)
The provide advice and assistance to clubs and individuals in the sport.
They help out paddlesport Olympians.
You get to have a say in the direction that the sport takes in this counrty by voting in the various AGMs of the different disciplines.
You get a cool card thingey.
You get 10% off in most Kayak shops, including GODs and I-Canoe.
I won't have to keep making up bullshit excuses when entering teams into competitions...
Don't take my word for it though, listen to what these guys have to say:
Canoeing Ireland membership made me the man that I am today
In a nation as rich and as vigorous as Ireland, representation and leadership are vitally important in not just protecting the securities and liberties that we hold dear, but aslo in striving for a greater goal over the horizon where success and progress lie, waiting to profit mankind.
