Sit-on-Top Adventure race training

The aim of this session is to give you a good foundation in the knowledge and skills essential for safe and enjoyable paddling.

During the lesson you will learn about: kayak equipment, kayak design and what to wear, as well as how to maneuver your kayak (forward, reverse, side ways, turning and steering) support strokes and how to recover from a capsize.

The session is 2 hours long and will involve paddling approx. 3.5 km

This training was set up for The Spirited Women – All Women’s Adventure Race is an event where teams of four women travel together in a team, navigating with map and compass around a secret course on foot, mountain bike, and kayak.

However, it is good for any adventure race the involves kayaking on sit on top kayaks.

Vote for Fish of the Year! 

This year, we're championing the Anchovy—did you know they're the eco-warriors fighting climate change in the Hauraki Gulf and beyond? By gobbling carbon and helping regulate oceanic climates, anchovies are the carbon-crushing champions we didn't know we needed. Saving the planet never looked so good!

Auckland Sea Kayaks is pleased to be supporting the annual Fish of the Year | Te Ika o Te Tau competition with our friends @emr_nz  and @waihekemarineproject

Our fish for this year is the humble Anchovy - while small and nimble like a sea kayak, they play a crucial role in marine ecosystems by acting as a primary food source for larger marine-life and seabirds.
