Hi, Try phoning Eddie on 07828 008997 is what the Falkirk Wheel Activities provider website says. The company providing kayak hire there is outdoortrax. I can't provide a website in this reply - it's banned. Paddleboarding is available some miles along the canal at Auchinstarry marina - same company. You'd need to ask if you can paddleboard at the Falkirk wheel. Or try booking online? Hope this helps Derek Phone Jos on 07914 668967
