Club is going to be your best bet I'm afraid. The problem is your age and the liability if anything goes wrong. Other than that find like minded mates, youth group, scouts etc.

Hi thanks for your reply ye suppose age is quite a problem but I'm going to the club tonight so I'll try and see if I can persuade them to do some whitewater in the next few weeks one of the problems is that pembs isnt that great for whitewater as there's only the bitches which I'm not experianced enough for.
