About Mana Kayak Club

Kayaking is for everyone

If this is the first time for you, come along at least 15 minutes beforehand to the beginners session and ask for one of the coaches. There is ample parking space and kayaks will be available for you to use if you don't have your own.


You will need to have suitable clothing to get wet in and then afterward to change in to. In the winter this is good polypro, jacket and good leg cover, hat/beanie or heavier duty clothes as you see fit. In the Summer ensure you have polypro and leg cover as minimums. 


Not every paddler on any one day is at the same level and the likelihood is that you will be placed into a group depending on your ability. If you have not paddled before or not paddled much this may see you on land or standing in water practicing technique for a short period, it may pay to have some feet cover for this.

Training Sessions

Club training times:

from Feb 2024

Tuesdays 5pm - 6.30pm (all levels and experiences)

Saturdays 8am - 10.30 am (Intermediate+)

Saturdays 9.30am - 10.30am (New, Give it a try & Beginners)

We train year-round, with the only limiting factor being very strong wind. A Northerly is OK most of the time, as we’re relatively sheltered but strong southerlies make it not-so-good. Sometimes it’s blowing in the city and lighter at Mana, so always worth checking with a club contact if in doubt.


During winter months, please bring a light for your kayak. Preferably two – front and rear. 


Training cancellations on Saturdays are communicated on our facebook page

What to bring

Multi-sporter

if you have a multi-sport kayak bring it, your usual paddle and a life vest. However if conditions are favourable, about 85% of the time, we would like to see you to paddle one of the club TK1s. You may find this a little tippy initially but it really allows our coaches to look at your paddle stroke and evaluate and offer advice from your first paddle with us. Remember if you are the paddler and ultimately we are trying to help you with better technique to go faster in your own boat.


Ski

If you are a ski paddler then bring your gear along if possible and either paddle in your ski or one of our club boats.


If you have no boat and no equipment just come along and the club will hook you up with some gear for the session.
