New members who have not paddled flatwater kayaks are encouraged to enroll in our learn-to-paddle course or have an individual lesson(s) with one of our qualified coaches. For new members with flatwater kayaking experience, please arrange an orientation session that includes a short time on the water to demonstrate that you have the skills to be safe on the water.
Current members do not qualify for the pro-rata discount that applies from January 1 each year. Members should check and update their Paddle Australia profile when they renew their membership each year to ensure our contact details are up to date.
