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 - 11.30am on Saturday or Sunday.

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