Eurobodalla Kayakers is not a club. It is simply a collection of email addresses of people who asked to be included. There are no office holders, no members and no fees. It is just a facility for sharing information about some kayaking activities in the district, for kayakers who want to know when and where other paddlers might be found on the water.

Please note that Eurobodalla Kayakers is moving.  Please link to and bookmark our new site:

www.eurobodallakayakers.com

Regular paddles are held every Friday and every second Sunday.  While there is a reference to a Tuesday paddle in an old post on this blog, we are not paddling on Tuesdays at this time.

Tuesday Paddle At 9am on any Tuesday mornings subject to tolerable weather,you are welcome to join other paddlers for a laid back cruise up the Tomaga River from the Mossy Point boat ramp. No bookings, membership or fees involved; just be on the water by 9am.   The paddle then leads to coffee at The Muffin Shop Mossy Point around 11am where non-paddling partners and friends can meet the paddlers for a coffee.  (This is a small group and the paddle may not run on some days if paddlers are away.)

Friday Paddle Similarly, at 9am on any Friday morning, you are welcome to join other paddlers for a cruise around Tuross Lake. The course chosen depends on wind, whim and energy level. Again no bookings, membership or fees involved; just be on the water by 9am at Lavender Bay. Coffee at O'briens Boatshed, beside the water, around 11am.
