Umina Beach Training with the HKK.

A terrific paddling weekend of training & unplanned swims with the mob from the HKK (Hunter Kayak Klan). Umina Beach presents a great spot for some easily reached sea conditions, with a small surf break most of the time to test out the bracing skills. This weekend featured plenty of on water action with what has to be the most enthusiastic bunch of ambitious sea paddlers on the Eastern Seaboard, a few cool beers on the Saturday night & the All Blacks retaining the Bledisloe Cup. What more can a man want....? On the Sunday the Klan tried out all of demo fleet – 13 boats of all shapes & sizes, including the new Rockpool GT.
