About KanuHQ

Club software built for paddling.

KanuHQ is built by Jason Burns, founder and product lead. It connects canoe and kayak club members to craft, trips, qualifications and club checks.

The reason

Club records need to reach the water.

Membership records are one part of a paddling club's work. Clubs also need to assign craft, check qualifications, plan trips, mark returns and keep yearly club evidence.

KanuHQ brings those jobs together without pretending software can replace club judgement.

What guides the build

01

Use paddling language

The language and workflows should read as canoe and kayak at a glance.

02

Show what is ready

Missing evidence, restricted access and blocked assets should be clear.

03

Cut volunteer admin

A system must reduce copying instead of creating another admin role.

04

Keep data exportable

Useful software should earn its place instead of trapping club records.

Clear limits

  • Club judgementLeaders still make every go or no-go decision.
  • National systemsPaddle UK membership and affiliation stay with Paddle UK.
  • WhatsAppKanuHQ has its own club messages. It does not claim a WhatsApp sync.
