CURRENT EVENTS

These are paddles offered mostly on Weekends and Public Holidays by Club Trip Leaders. You will need to register to take part.  Registration of interest does not guarantee a place on the paddle.  The leader has the discretion to select paddlers to suit conditions and the trip plan. Non-members can join here.

    Holiday Monday loop around the Heads of our beautiful Harbour - Middle Head, South Head, North Head, Quarantine Head and Dobroyd Head.  Coffee stop at Quarantine Beach.

    We'll meet at Tunks Park in Northbridge.  8:00 for 8:30 on the water.  No kids sport so hopefully parking will be fine.  We should be back at Tunks in time for lunch - maybe late lunch.

    Our paddle will be about 20km with a stop at Quarantine Beach.  I don't know if the cafe will be open on a public holiday - I'll bring a thermos.

    I'd like to play with a couple of my towing setups.  Hopefully at least one other person will be willing to play with me?

    This is a trip for grade 2 and 3 paddlers.  If you have a few things missing on your grade 2 then shoot me an email and we'll see what we can do:  tonym95[at]gmail.com

    Fingal Fun!

    A weekend at Fingal Bay, near Port Stephens.  Launch from the south end of the beach and expect 2 days of glorious ocean paddling of between 20-30km each day.  As ever, trips will be weather dependent, but could include Cabbage Tree Island via Fingal Spit or south to Boat Harbour or beyond.  It's June, so expect to see whales.

    Accommodation will be in a holiday house with potentially 3 people to a room.  A communal meal will be organised for Saturday night and staples such as milk, coffee, tea and some sourdough bread will be provided.  Cost will be around $70 each for the weekend, including accommodation and food.

    Arrive Friday night or Saturday morning to be on the water for 9:00am.

    Winter weekender to the Myall Lakes

    Return to Mungo brush for an evening around the camp fire with a glass of red gazing at the stars.

    Sunday - Kayak on the Myall Lakes.  Location and route depending on weather.

    Note this is a car camping trip, so throw an extra doona in for those cold nights and a bag of fire wood to keep us warm!

    You will need a National Parks Pass or day passes and NPWS camping fees apply.

    Numbers limited to 6 unless any other trip leaders sign up or get in touch.

    AGM 2023: Bonnie Vale 14 to 15 October, 2023


    Have you paddled under the waterfalls that spill off the cliffs at Curracurang in the Royal National Park? Or surfed your kayak on the friendly wave at Deeban Spit? Both those options and more will be available at this years Annual General Meeting at Bonnie Vale on Saturday 14th October, 2023.


    Camping is available at the Royal National Park Bonnie Vale. You must book a site prior to arrival and have a valid National Park Pass or purchase a day pass. If you prefer more luxurious accommodation, there are several Air BnBs in the area. Alternatively, paddle over from anywhere around Port Hacking.


    The AGM itself is scheduled for 4:00 pm on Saturday in the Maianbar Community Hall which is about a 15 minute walk from the campground along a bush track.  Bring decent shoes and a headlamp. A short business meeting will be followed by an entertaining guest speaker.

    Dinner will be catered by our own "Chef Extraordinaire" Carolyn Gibbins and will feature a selection of delicious food, with vegetarian and carnivore options! Bring your own beverage of choice plus all plate, cup and  all other utensils you require for a fine dining experience and $20 (cash or card) to cover the cost of dinner.
