JBK Education - Assessment Day



What a day, it doesnt get much better than this.Sea Leader candidate Mick Greaves spent the morning demonstrating his sea kayaking and rescue skills last thursday. Perfect weather, and mild Sea Conditions saw Ross Boardman conducting the Assessment whilst on a Sea Paddle both inside and outside Jervis Bay. The Sea Cliffs of Bowen Island are an ideal place to simulate real sea conditions. JBK Course coordinator/Sea Kayaking Instructor " Tracy Garner " and new staff member Craig Rinaldi joined in the day for a refreshing look at the outer edge of Jervis Bay.
During rescue simulation off Bowen Island a female humpback and calf edged within 10 metres of patient Ross Boardman who was in the water with a simulated dislocated shoulder. A very succesful day indeed.

JBK Women In Kayaking Programs

JBK are proud to announce a new program to our already wide range of Kayaking Programs. There has long been a need for specific activities that cater for Women that generally identify with different learning outcomes than men. Our Women In Kayaking Programs provide an avenue for you to achieve a level of confidence that you may otherwise not attain in a mixed environment. Attention given to handling, lifting techniques and overall correct technique that can enable you as a Kayaker to get the most out of this amazing lifestyle. Around 60% of our client base is female and we have 3 professional Female Instructors ( who live to kayak ) to guide you each step of the way. So if it's Calm Water or Sea Paddling this weekend will establish the basis for sound efficient technique and safety, in a fun, relaxed social setting.

October 6th and 7th saw the arrival of over 40 pre cast slabs to the site and a crane lifeted each into position. Props adjust the level of the walls and JBK Huskisson store takes on a whole new look. Both our store and the 4 units above afford a brilliant view of Jervis Bay overlooking the Whitesands Park.

JBK Huskisson Store


It's been a long wait but 3 months of rain in a drought area couldn't have been predicted, but we've had considerable movement on our new store. The first sod of dirt was turned back in June and then it began to rain and rain.Foundations took some time,and completed a couple of months ago then the slab was poured, and yesterday it all started happening. Over 40 pre-cast slabs craned into position and our new store is really underway.
