HOW THE CLUB WORKS!
- We are a community-run, not-for-profit kayak club with a difference – a share principle
- The club nominated kayaks used are provided by other club members for use on an equitable community access share principle, and at no charge.
- All new members are required to do paddle safety training course involving paddle technique, water safety and capsize/self rescue and assisted rescue skills before being able to use any kayak.
- Participants need to join Paddle Australia (NSW) ($80 fee as a recreational adult member), for personal accident insurance and public liability while paddling, and Kayak Share Club ($80 fee). Both fees are for 12 months from the date of purchase.
- After joining, paddlers need to supply their own life-jacket and paddle.
- There are no costs for using a kayak, as they are not rented or hired.
- Members can book a kayak using the Club’s Smartphone WhatsApp up to 3 days ahead.
- Each kayak has a code and combination lock for use by members only.
- Kayaks vary in type from easy sit-on tops, a double, a ski and touring kayaks for longer trips.
- Only nine KSC club registered and labelled share-kayaks are permitted by North Sydney Council to be stored on the beach racks.
