Bonner Wassersportverein für Kanu und SUP (BWB) is a Bonn-based watersports club focused on paddling and community activities. Its program includes canoe touring, wildwater kayaking, competitive canoeing and stand-up paddleboarding, with trips and training on the Rhine and other rivers. Members can take part in regular coaching, youth activities, indoor sessions to practise the Eskimo roll, and courses covering paddling skills, safety, ecology and the European Paddling Pass (EPP). The club’s EPP training combines theory with supervised practice on the Rhine and concludes with a full-day paddle.

BWB also organizes social and sporting events, including group tours, an annual “Elefantenrennen” and the club’s traditional Stiftungsfest. Its paddling calendar ranges from local outings to longer river journeys, with activities suited to both experienced paddlers and newer participants. Environmental responsibility is part of the club’s activities: members organize cleanups at the protected Herseler Werth and promote lower-impact ways to reach paddle destinations. Through training, competition, recreation and conservation, BWB brings together people who enjoy exploring waterways by canoe or SUP.
