Equipment Hire

The club does not allow partners and non-financial members to use club equipment. This is for several reasons.

• Non-members are not covered by insurance
• Club equipment is not covered by insurance when used by non-financial members
• The equipment is then unavailable for financial members
• The equipment may be damaged or worn, reducing its availability, usefulness, or safety for financial members
• The club does not hire gear for tax and insurance reasons

For those club members with partners and friends who are not current financial club members, here is a list of commercial sea kayak hire operators in and around Brisbane (or look in the phonebook and on the internet). Consider having them join the club.

• Acacia Canoes, 60 Mannington Road, ACACIA RIDGE, Queensland, 4110. Ph: 3276 7576
• Goodtime Surf & Sail, 29 Ipswich Rd, Woolloongabba QLD 4102, Ph: 3391 8588
• Adventure Outlet (Gold Coast), PO Box 369 Southport BC Qld 4215, Ph: 0407 741 748

Use club gear for yourself and hire from outside sources for friends and partners – it’s still cheap.

Note that if you take kayak equipment away on unofficial trips, you are responsible for its care, transport and return (it is not insured under those circumstances).
