JBK - Education Surf Kayaking Course

It has come to our attention that Surf Kayaking has caught the eye on many paddlers around the country and the world. JBK Surf Kayaking Course has been designed to cater for the needs of paddlers who possess intermediate to advanced skills, those that are required to handle the Addictive and Adrenalin Pumping Surf Zone. Saturday saw a Trio of super keen female paddlers flew up from Tassie, and another keen American paddler( on study time in Australia ) to undertake the program with Tracy, Janet and Bonnie. The result, well, it was a mixture of exhiliration and extreme fun as these new surf kayaking devotees ripped it up at caves beach in an all female Exression Session.Putting new meaning to the the term "Girls at Play", this was no place for the feint hearted, high skill level and competant surf skills were the order of the day. Backed up with another day with the 'Make for the Break Surf Kayak Club "on Sunday and we had the best Surf Kayaking Weekend ever. Perfect glassy 3 footers with the occasional rogue wave to mix it up. As we have always said " if you've got the skills, use them ".Rossco

JBK - Team


Bonnie Tregenza from Charles Sturt Uni in Albury has returned to sit for her Australian Canoeing Sea Leader Award. A busy month ahead where Bonnie will participate in Activities from Sea Kayaking Tours, Courses, Training and Surf Kayaking skill progression not from a novice perpective but from a leadership point of view. Her skills have taken her from a new paddler last december to a Leadership Role, born purely out of the will to succeed and develop a real understanding of what it takes to become an experience leader and guide. We have lined up such a variety of activities that Bonnie wont know whats hit her and then we'll add some night paddling and extreme surf kayaking just to test her out. So far, well Bonnie is taking it in her stride, the Team can't think of what else to throw at her ( ahh maybe some shop time will fix her up ) hey Bonnie. Well Done , you are an inspiration to all new paddlers, next level will be the Sea Kayak Guide Rating.

JBK - Adventure School Programs

Epping Boys High School arrved to be greeted with absolutely perfect conditions for their school holiday kayaking adventure. What a great way to spend time with your mates and a few dads, heading off into the wilderness by Sea Kayak. Our School Sea Kayaking Programs are quickly gaining in momentum. It's what we love to do, as everyone including the staff, ( see photo - they look happy don't they)gets a great deal of satisfaction from the self contained overnight trips. We look forward to taking these guys out again as they took to the paddling like a duck to water. Even caught their own tucker, good job given the optimism of one of the dads as he only bought a lemon for his dinner in the hope of catching his dinner. Flathead all round. Well done guys. Guides ( Tracy, Bonnie, Swampy )
