I've been kayaking for 4 years - mainly whitewater / rivers up to Grade 3+. I have also done some sea kayaking and am keen to do more of both. Available most weekends and weekday nights.

About Canoeing in Australia
Canoeing encompasses flatwater paddling, whitewater kayaking, and canoe polo — a diverse set of disciplines united by a paddle, a boat, and Australia's magnificent waterways. It builds upper-body strength, balance, and a deep appreciation for the natural environment.
Getting Started
Canoe clubs affiliated with Paddle Australia offer beginner sessions that cover basic paddle strokes, safety, and water awareness. Club membership includes access to club boats, so you can try the sport before purchasing your own equipment. All skill levels are welcome.
