Jack Henderson

Jack is our oldest member. He has been paddling for about 20 years, and started for “health reasons”, to build up strength in his arms and chest. Jack’s favourite type of water to paddle on is the North Tyne, as it has some white water and can be quite fast. Although, he does like he sea as the waves are good fun, and on flat water you can practise new skills you have learnt at the pool. His favourite session is at the pool, as he can help others, and pass on his knowledge to them. High Borrans is Jack’s favourite club trip as there is not such a long distance to travel to get to the rivers, and people can choose a group which best suits their ability. Jack says that he loves the club because: “Tynemouth Canoe Club is the friendliest club I have ever been in. Because of this, I feel that I can turn to anyone at any time, to give advice and help them.”
