Come on - have a go!

Why Paddling?

At NOCC we welcome EVERYONE to come along and have a go at the sport that we are so passionate about. None of us came into the Club as an expert, we all had to learn how to hold on to a paddle, the correct usage of a paddle and how to get better at paddling. We know what it’s like to be the “new kid on the block” so we will be very understanding and patient with you as you start your outrigging experience. Above all, we want this to be a fun experience for you.

Your safety is our prime concern, so if at any time you do not feel safe please let the skipper/steerer know so that they can address your concerns, after all, we are here to make sure you have fun, exercise and enjoy yourself.

Your steerers are hand-picked for their abilities, experience, concern for safety and their water knowledge.

As your confidence in the sport grows, so will the areas in which you train. In Autumn/Winter we may go whale spotting off Newcastle and Stockton. Ever seen Newcastle Beach from the ocean? Ever been out to the islands off Port Stephens, or paddled in the deep blue waters off Norfolk Island? All these adventures and more await you as you get better at paddling.

So what are you waiting for? Call our Coach Steve Dawes on 0408594340, or send him an email at nocccoach@gmail.com
