Livingsea was born from the ‘Aula de Piragüismo’ of the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria in 2012, when what would become the first Adult Canoeing School of Canarias and Spain was founded. It was made possible thanks to the impulse of the Faculty and the Departament of Physical Activity and Sports Science and the Sports Service of the ULPGC, who collaborated to purchase stable canoes that would popularize canoeing and make it accessible to adults.
AUPíragüismo is the canoeing school of the ULPGC and enables the practice of this sport to university students and external people. More 10 years of life have made this classroom have more than 60 canoes and stand up paddle boards, and have a daily and consolidated activity throughout the year, reaching its peak during the summer months.
Over 80% of the team of Livingsea has been formed, trains and compites in the Club Amigos del Piragüismo, an entity with over 35 years of life that has seen all the paddler of Las Alcaravaneras grow.
Club Amigos del Piragüismo is the best open sea canoeing club in Spain and is a world reference to clubs from all over the world. It is a club dedicated to the initiation and improvement of boys and girls, and to the training and high performance of competitive paddlers.
From Livingsea we have always supported the club sponsoring with new equipment (canoes and paddles), providing the LivingVan, the canoe trailer and materials for its activities and trips, as well as discounts on all their purchases.
The Real Club Nautico of Gran Canaria, founded in 1908, had in its beginnings a canoeing section that achieved great successes throughout its history.
7 years ago this section was reactivated by Livingsea, who being aware of the future potential of the club, wanted to restart the canoeing team.
Livingsea offers the RCNGC its team and materials for the promotion, training, competition and organization of canoeing regattas. Currently, the canoeing sections of the RCNGC has more than 70 athletes.
