Gear hire

UCCC has a wide range of Kayaking gear available for hire to members and non members.

  • Half slices we have available include Axiom 8.5s, RPM’s, RPM Max’s, and the Braaaap. Axiom’s cost an extra $10 to hire, let’s call it the “crack surcharge”.

  • Creek boats such as Dagger Nomads and Liquid Logic Alpha’s.

  • We also have some play boats and a few old fasioned full slices.

  • NRS PFD’s, Nevis Bluff Paddles, Helmets, Spray skirts

  • Raft Hire. Hire “Patches!”, our new (to us) bright red raft.

  • Trailer. We have a single axel trailer that can fit roughly 18 boats, available for hire when it’s not being used for club trips.

Additionally, the club has a PLB (Personal Locator Beacon) which will be taken on all club trips. It is also able to be hired (without charge) by club members for personal trips. Get in touch with James Suddaby (Safety Officer) to arrange.

The gear shed is located in the carpark on the Corner of Parkstone and Solway Aves. Look for the Red and Blue containers.
