Well done to all the junior kayakers who completed Well done to all the junior kayakers who completed our beginner kayaking course last weekend. They did amazingly well to cope with the blustery and ocassionally wet conditions, spending 12 hours on the water (and a couple IN the water!) over the three days. No doubt they slept well after that weekend, I know the instructors did ;)

Thanks to all our instructors for running a safe and fun course!
Thanks a million to Sean Carleton Photography for the fantastic photos (more on facebook)!

Thank you to everyone who came along to support ou Thank you to everyone who came along to support our annual Paddle for Alex today. It was a great turnout on a beautiful sunny day.  It means so much to be able to remember our friend Alex along with the McGourty family and our friends from the Summerhill and Grammar kayaking clubs. 
Our thoughts today are also with David Higgins and Adam Vaughan, RIP. 

Thank you to all who provided lovely post-paddle treats today especially Róisín, Megan (check out the amazing cakesuperior.ie) and Trish.
