Suncoast Seniors Recreational Kayaking Club Inc.
The SSRKC is a group of over 50’s who share a common interest in kayaking, around the diverse waterways of the Sunshine Coast, Qld. Our aim is to stay physically fit, enjoy other like minded kayaker’s company and create a safe paddling environment
Since 1993
The Sun Coast Seniors Recreational Kayaking Club is one of, if not the most active kayaking club in Australia offering regular paddles on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, as well as up to eight camps locally, around Australia and occasionally overseas each year.
The SSRKC is for over 50’s who share a common interest in kayaking the diverse waterways of the Sunshine Coast Qld. Our aim is to stay physically fit and to enjoy each other’s company by creating a safe, supportive and non competitive paddling environment.
We paddle on Mondays (two hours), Wednesdays (three hours with morning tea at half way point), Thursdays (four hours), and with occasional open and surf plays on Tuesdays.
And we are a club always on the move – with no headquarters to tie us down, we paddle everywhere from Noosa to Moreton Bay – on the ocean, in rivers and on lakes and dams.
Come Paddle with Us
It doesn’t matter if you are a complete novice or an experienced kayaker, you are welcome at our club.
If you would like to try before you buy, potential members are allowed three free club paddles, before we ask if you would like to join.

A “SIT IN” touring style kayak is to be used on all SSRKC paddles.
All craft require bulk heads and should be fitted with front and back perimeter/deck lines.
Spray skirts are optional.
Kayaks should also carry a painter line for tying to the shoreline when stopped.
