Weekly, at Orewa after work. We will be there from about 5.00pm with a trailer load of sit-on-tops, sea kayaks and white water kayaks. You are welcome to join us for some fun. The surf at Orewa is usually small and gentle enough inshore for beginners on sit-on-tops, occasionally challenging for experienced paddlers especially at the mouth of the estuary.
If you haven't done it before we will give you some basic instruction to get you going. This is a great way to improve your skills and confidence. About 7.30pm we pack up and head down to the cafe for burgers and beer. We usually go even if the surf is very small, 'cos there is usually enough to have some fun, and even if it is completely flat we can paddle around, have a swim etc. I recommend that you always check the website before you go up to see if there has been any change in plan. $10 to use our gear. We now require you to register if you would like us to take a kayak and gear up for you (please specify what type of kayak - sit-on-top, sea kayak, white water).
