Waikato Yakity Yak Club

The Hamilton Yakity Yak Club offers a safe and fun paddling environment for people of all ages and abilities.

To become part of the club you need to do a skills course, so check out our skills courses that are coming up. There is something for everybody!

By doing the Skills Course you will receive 2 full days of great instruction from highly qualified instructors in a safe environment. All equipment needed for the course is provided by us and we will even transport you to the locations we head to throughout the course.
We provide you with lunch for the 2 days of instruction. Our Skills Course groups are kept small so there will be no getting lost in the crowd and you will have the knowledge that you are not getting a generic talk, but instruction that will help you out individually.
By doing our Skills Course you will learn the correct paddle strokes, rescues, basic navigation and how to plan trips properly.
On completion of the Skills Course you are awarded a certificate and automatically become a member of our Yakity Yak Club.
