New Zealand’s Best Kept Secret The Yakity Yak Many of the articles you are reading in this magazine are about trips organized by the Yakity Yak Club. Interested in Joining up? Well read on and get involved “Too old” you say or “not fit enough” or “don’t like clubs because of the working bees and committee meetings”. Well guess what, our oldest member is 80 plus and started paddling in the last two years. Can you walk? well then you can paddle, in fact that’s not correct we have had members with a missing leg or two, but you get the picture. The only committee meetings we have are a wine and cheese evening once a month to arrange trips. There are no secretaries or treasurers. We just discuss where to go next and who is coming. These trips are viewed on www.canoeandkayak.co.nz and booked at your local Canoe & Kayak Centre Join the club. You will get a weekend skills course to teach you techniques and safety skills and a year’s membership. If you are keen to learn more there is a bunch of courses to teach everything from Eskimo Rolling to becoming an instructor. At no cost is the Leader’s Training Course, ten weeks part time for those who have the urge to put something back into the club. So what does joining the club cost? Only $299 for the first year including the weekend course and then only $45 per subsequent year thereafter.

Kayak Club Proudly Supported by Your Local Now you say “They must charge for each club trip”. My friend you would be wrong. There is no participation charge for club trips. The Yakity Yak Kayak Club was set up by a bunch of enthusiastic instructors. After spending much time teaching people how to paddle we found a few months later that they had not carried on with paddling. They said there was no one to paddle with, or they were a bit shy, or they did not have a boat, or they lacked confidence to go on trips where they did not know the area or the people. So we said enough is enough and the Yakity Yak Kayak Club was formed. We cannot guarantee you will get on like a house on fire with every club member but we know you will find a bunch of like minded mates to enjoy our wonderful little paddling paradise. So get on the phone to one of the Canoe & Kayak Centres (see advert on the back page) and join the Yakity Yak Kayak Club. You will be welcome.
