I've just done my 1 Star basic kayaking course and absolutely loved it. Now I'm looking for some people to go kayaking with. Just want to practice a bit and have fun and hopefully move on to 2 star and 3 star at some point. am expat, working, so only have time on the weekends

been a bit hectic last week so late reply:

I checked and you need a 1 star to rent out any kayaks. At least with water venture which organise lots of the water sports here. The course is easy, 2 days, 80 $ (incl membership) , locations Kallang, Pasir Ris and Changi I believe. (http://www.water-venture.org.sg) Not sure whether there's any kayaking without the little star.

but let me know if you get the 1 star, I'm still looking for others to go kayaking with

sorry, cannot PM, don't have enough posts here yet.

I'm definitely interested!!!

I did 1 and 2 star courses last year (at the Kallang Basin location) and plan to do 3 star later this year. But really could use some practice and a kayaking partner.

Let's plan something!

yeah, also did my course at Kallang... swimming with the plastic bags

Let's meet up for kayaking after the long weekend.
just need to get up the number of my posts, then I'll PM with details.

I'm up for this. Just finished my 1 star and have 2 star in the pipeline.

I am interested and please let me know when and where?
Never tried before and will love to try out this sport.

Hi, not sure what you mean by 1 star and 2 star in Singapore. I have my BCU 2 Star, one m,ore and I can be an instructor. Any good? Let me know if you arrange anything? definately up for some kayak action!

I'll try organise something:

how about next weekend, 31 May or 1 June, ie.e. Saturday or Sunday, still flexible.
I only know Kallang and didn't like it too much so would suggest Mc Ritchie or Pasir Ris.

So, who's interested?

Aaron, the 1 star I've got is really basic so might be too boring for you. But worth a try.

If it's Sunday I'd be interested. Happy to go anywhere.

Mac Ritchie is Nice....

I tried at there before

Is quite safe as you wont worry for Current ...

Maybe I will come along anyway - Will I need to bring certificates or can I just come along? Don't have certificates here in Singapore but can get fax copies.

Post up details of where and when and I'll see if I can make it!

i dun hv any certificate

let's say Sunday 1 June. Pasir Ris Water Venture at 2.30 pm (web page says latest equipment rental 3 pm). weather permitting. I reckon Pasir Ris could be more fun with larger waves.

Location: in the Pasir Ris Beach Park, address: 125 Elias Road, Singapore 519926

Not sure about what certifications they want to see, I guess some basic copy should do. I believe you also need to be member of Water Venture for rental, but that's only 45 $ for 3 years.

Who's in?
