What we’re about
The Sea kayak Adventure group is formed to make it possible for people with little or no sea kayaking experience to explore coasts, beaches, bays, lakes and islands by sea kayak. It's a local adventure for anyone who wants to give it a try whether you own a sea kayak or not!
We will do this by:
1. Create a range of sea kayak trips suitable for beginners (or better).
2. Provide experienced paddlers to lead these trips and support the less experienced members.
3. Provide training courses for beginners to increase their sea kayaking skills.
4. By providing very affordable sea kayak equipment to people who do not have their own but who wish to try sea kayaking before buying it - or not ever wanting to.

Kayak Camp - Kangaroo Valley Weekend Catchup
Location not specified yetJoin a bunch of central coast kayakers on our annual Kangaroo Valley kayaking weekend. Its a casual get together where we catch up with old friends and meet new ones to paddle with.
The river is our kayak ground. Upstream is a beautiful gorge and eventually some small rapids. A beautiful half day kayak trip.
Downstream the river widens to create more open water expanses with bird and wildlife. This section can be as long as you wish as there are no rapids downstream.
Our first paddle for the weekend is scheduled for Saturday 10:30 am on the water. Its a fun weekend so bring a wig and some fun clothes for a party Halloween paddle.
Have a picnic together afterwards back at the campsite.
The rest of the weekend is impromptu and resolves around paddling each day.
Where: Bendeela Camping & Picnic Area
