The club offers various kayaking activities, but being a coastal club tend to use the sea for most of its kayaking.
We are most often found in either of Scarborough's bays surf kayaking,
if the surf permits.
Alternatively we do trips to Flamborough where the spectacular cliffs are home to Europe's largest mainland nesting sights for Gannets and Puffin, and are honeycombed with caves only accessible by kayak.
The club also has a lively sea kayaking group who do trips along the Yorkshire coast and further afield, to The Farne Islands, Bass Rock etc. See our pictures in the..... GALLERY
