Sea kayak Safety Note

Kayaking in the ocean and on lakes and rivers attracts an element of risk. Always follow the Queensland Transport boating safety regulations as covered on their website and in the official guide.

The club provides important items of safety equipment Class 2 PFDs, flare kits, bilge pumps and backup split paddles.

Sea kayak Certifications

It is the policy of the club to pay up to half the cost of a sea kayak proficiency award undertaken by any club member. It is to the benefit of the club to have members who are competent in the use of club equipment. Please first seek approval from the committee if you are interested.

Sea Kayak Instructor Certifications may also be subsidised by the club but there is likely to be an expectation of providing some instruction to other club members during and following certification.
