My name is Ben Brown, I am a K1M Paddler from the UK and creator of the website www.canoeslalomkx.com and the social platforms @paddleslalom and @kayakcross.

Ever been met with a blank stare when you mention your love for canoe slalom? The sport you train everyday is unknown to most people and even when you try to explain to, there is nowhere to direct people to discover more.

Determined to change this, I created @Paddleslalom – A dedicated social media platform for canoe slalom and kayak cross. I wanted to create a space where athletes could connect, share their passion, and showcase the incredible skill and excitement of our sport.

I believe that the lack of media coverage and online presence is a major barrier to the growth of canoe slalom. How can we expect people to fall in love with our sport if they don’t even know it exists? @Paddleslalom aims to bridge this gap by providing a central platform for athletes, fans, and potential participants.

If you share my passion for canoe slalom and want to help grow our sport, I encourage you to join me. Follow @Paddleslalom, share our content, and engage with the community. Together, we can make canoe slalom a household name.
