Make a
Difference

Our Actions make a difference - Since 2004 SMUGz has been a truly inclusive club where the members are like family. We take paddling seriously and have fun while doing so. Our family of 50+ paddlers, experienced and new, have a calendar filled with races, trainings and social events all year round. We train at Stanley Main Beach but race local and international regattas across the entire territory (including Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, New Territories and Outlying Islands) as well as overseas spreading the spirit of Grrrr wherever we go!
