Background.
Insurance issues prompted another change. On 7th July 1997 the Club known as Suncoast Seniors Recreational Canoeing Club was incorporated. In July 2001 the Club changed its name to its present name of Suncoast Seniors Recreational Kayaking Club Inc. to reflect the change from canoeing to kayaking.

Insurance and Risk Management.
The SSRKC is incorporated under the Association Incorporation Act 1981. Please note that the club has Public Liability Insurance however, individuals are responsible for their own insurance requirements.
It is a condition of membership that members make a personal decision on participating in each and every activity, taking into account all prevailing conditions and circumstances. This “self assessment process” applies to both suitability of the craft and of the member to undertake the paddle.
Additional risk management is provided by the Club through policies, self-assessment guidelines and a risk management plan. These documents are available on the Club’s Website.
NOTE: It is the responsibility of the individual paddler to assess the conditions, risks and their ability and decide if they should paddle.
