Kayaking Calendar: lessons, clinics and events

Please review the upcoming Kayak lessons, clinics and events, and sign up for those in which you are interested.

In order to manage our costs, we must do our best to fill the scheduled lessons.  If we don't have enough registered participants a week before the lesson, we may have to cancel and re-register you in a later session.

    Fall work party to carry out repairs, maintenance and prepare the SUPs, kayaks and related gear for the winter. As a joint SUP & kayak event, if you are a member of both fleets, you’ll be fulfilling two volunteer duties at once! Some things we can do:
    • wash and clean all the SUPs and kayaks
      • inspect craft to see if repairs needed
      • make any simple repairs
    • Organize all SUP & kayak equipment in the kayak shed
      • paddles
      • leashes
      • PFDs
      • Hatch covers etc.

    Great opportunity to get together with other club members and chat about the  outings and trips you've had this year.

    Please register if you'd like to come and help keep the fleets in good repair. 

    Weather permitting - if it's miserable we will postpone - check the Kayaking and SUP Slack Chat channel for last minute updates.

    P.S. We have a food budget: If someone would like to help organize a social and food after the work party, let me Mark or Gay know.

    This is a member run, weekly kayak and a chance to meet other paddlers.   The socials will vary depending on the weather and the group, from just a nice easy paddle to slightly more strenuous.  The group will stay together for the social. 

    Guests & new members:  You may bring a guest who has kayak paddling experience (remember you are responsible for guests & equipment you sign out).  NEW MEMBERS ARE WELCOME (provided you have kayaking experience)!  Check with the Kayak Director to see if someone might be able to sign you out as a guest and that you have suitable skills to join the social paddle.      

    Please register for the event, and cancel if you can't make it so others know if they will have company.  Please check if others are registered before turning up, unless you're happy to paddle alone.  

    Weather permitting - we'll probably cancel if its raining or winds higher than 20km/h. Please watch the #kayak channel on Club Locarno Slack for last minute changes.
