How to rinse our equipment

In the front of the club, there is a blue bucket that you can dip the smaller items into. Change the water after use. For the suit, you can either rinse it well with the hose or use our creative bath tub construction. After a group has used this, change the water. After rinsing, let everything drip off outside the club. When you hang up the suits inside, turn them inside out to dry well.



The kayaks have been sorted!

On the storage-rack by the sea you find all modern sea kayaks without a rudder, but a skeg and one double kayak. Those have gotten numbers and each row on the rack has written on which kayaks should lay there (order in one row is not important). The kayaks are sorted by type and go from high volume in the bottom to low volume on the top (what mainly fits with the size of kayakers, but not always). We hope it will make it easier for you choosing a kayak. We will mark kayaks that should not go out with a tape until they are prepared. Otherwise, you will find many kayaks at the moment where the skeg is not working, but they are otherwise good to go.
