More people to meet and even more places to paddle! But, I have also had a equal amount of people call to say that they wanted to locate even more people that they can get out and paddle with. They were looking for a club environment as well as the opportunity to extend their range of paddling opportunities even further. So, here we now have, in additional to Paddler Profiles.................. Club Profiles! The first club we would like to introduce is the New South Wales Sea Kayak Club. A very large and diverse group of paddlers, all linked together by the common thread of loving to paddle. The members of this club get out and do some pretty impressive paddles and have a great time at it as well. So, find below their story and some top images to get you wishing you weren't sitting at that computer desk right now..... |
