HOW TO JOIN

Every new member needs to first complete a Paddle Safety Training Session. It covers paddle technique, safety on the harbour, weather monitoring, capsize and self-rescue, and assisting in the rescue. Training sessions are usually held 7.30 - 11.30 am on Saturday or Sunday. 

Once the training dates are confirmed, they will be listed below on the KSC website. A spot can be booked by following the link to our Paddle Australia Just Go event booking system. 

Please note that you need to provide your own paddle and lifejacket. See the list of recommended equipment for further details.

 After the training session you will be added to the club's online kayak booking system to make your kayak bookings, and our KSC Social groups on WhatsApp to link up with fellow members and arrange kayak trips.  

While you wait, we encourage you to take advantage of Sydney Harbour Kayak’s Introduction to Kayaking lesson.  This will allow you to try paddling and decide if it’s for you, before purchasing a life jacket and paddle.  This is a very good half day (3 hour) exercise.
