Canoeing Ireland is proud to announce the renewal of TOBIN’s sponsorship of the PaddleAble Ambassador video series for 2025. Since its launch, the series has had a powerful impact, reaching a wide audience with thousands of views across our platforms, and inspired some incredible projects to promote inclusion and accessibility in paddle sports. The videos have showcased inspiring stories of people of all abilities enjoying time on the water, encouraging our community to become more open, welcoming, and inclusive.

To mark the renewal, TOBIN’s Director of Business Development/CSO, Damien Grehan, joined Canoeing Ireland’s Operations Director, Ciaran Maguire, at the Canoeing Ireland Training Centre, getting the opportunity to experience the positive impact of engaging in paddle sport first hand. The occasion highlighted the strong partnership between TOBIN and Canoeing Ireland, and our shared commitment to growing opportunities in paddle sports for people of all abilities.

With TOBIN’s strong focus on ESG and community, they continue to be the perfect partner for PaddleAble. Their renewed support ensures the continuation of this important project and will help us extend its impact even further, hopefully reaching new audiences and inspiring more people with additional needs to discover the joy of paddle sports. Together, we are building a stronger, more inclusive paddling community.
