JBK - Surf Kayaking

Ross Boardman Mega Oz, Mike Eggleton NSW Canoeing, Tracy Garner Mega OZ


Following a very successful meeting with NSW Canoeing's Mike Eggleton, we have formulated a plan to see Surfkayaking recognised as a discipline in the Australian Scheme. Such recognition comes with the commitment of other states, namely Western Australia and Queensland with events being organised and targeted at increasing the presence of Surfkayak, Waveski and Playboating activities. We at Mega Kayaks Australia are proud to be involved in the initial organisation of the demo days and competitions. Already scheduled are dates in September, February and NSW's first Competition in March 2008. Combined with the Australian, "Make for the Break Surf Kayak Club" activities , there is ample opportunity to build a base of paddlers to increase the skills and experience. So get Training guys we need some rising stars to showcase our sensational sport.
