Kayaks. Canoes. Paddleboards. What do they all have in common? 🌊🌊🌊
..They’re quite often found on the coastline or drifting out to sea. And if we don’t know who they belong to, we can spend time searching for an owner when they’re home safe and sound. 🏡

So please help us to help you. Label your kit so that if you do get separated from it, and it turns up somewhere, we can get hold of you.

To help you do that – you can order, for free online, our outdoor label name tags which are very easy to use. Simply write your contact details onto the paper side and stick onto your piece of equipment.

We advise all members to be properly equipped before kayaking. A good fitting wetsuit, a buoyancy aid, a whistle, and a form of communication (mobile or VHS radio) is the minimum you should have before setting out.

Stay safe out there! 🌊

A GROUP of people in an inflatable kayak had to be rescued by the Coastguard on Saturday (May 30) evening.

Meet The Team - Day 2

Jake Morgan

Found more often at a computer screen than the outdoors Jake is one of the unsuspecting members of the PKC. Sitting on the board of directors he oversees the growth and expansion of the club. Naturally, all website enquires should be directed to Jake.
This photo was taken on just one of the many annual kayak tours we provide to our members. This one happened to be at the Great Lakes of Mount Everest.
