Kanovereniging Uitgeest (KVU) is a paddling club based at the gemeentehaven of Uitgeest, on the Westergeestervaart. The club's waterfront facility includes a boathouse with around 100 storage berths, a canteen, and changing rooms.

A small fleet of club kayaks and canoes is available for members who do not own their own craft. From the gemeentehaven, paddlers can quickly reach the Uitgeestermeer and Alkmaardermeer.

The main paddling season runs from mid-April to mid-October, though active members continue on the water throughout winter.

The club organizes a wide range of activities, including club evenings, day trips, multi-day tours, sea kayaking expeditions, whitewater weekends, night paddles, and pool training sessions.
