Overview
Pirita Paddling Club is one of Estonia's oldest and most active paddling clubs, with roots in 1988 when it was re-established on the eve of Estonia's restored independence. It is based at the Pirita sports centre on Rummu tee, where it runs beginner courses for children aged 8–10 and adults each summer; a club tradition is the sea-kayak crossing from Tallinn to Helsinki, first paddled in 1990.
