A trade show not open to the public, the Paddle Sports Show, after two editions organized in 2021 and 2022 in Lyon (France), has moved in 2023 to Strasbourg (France). For 2024, the show will once again be held in Strasbourg Sept. 24-26. The international show attracts buyers from specialist shops, rental centers, outfitters and central purchasing agencies from all over the world. This year’s show will include 150 exhibitors of kayaks, canoes, SUPs, foils, inflatable toys, and more, as well as a series of satellite events helping to bring together all the players in paddlesports. It will also include a new film festival, equipment tests, competitions, product awards presented by Kayak Session, seminars and conferences, and more.

This year again organizers are preparing a full program of conference and talks during the show, including those from surfski legend Oscar Chalupsky and whitewater park designer and three-time Olympian Scott Shipley from S20 Designs/Calibre Engineering.
