Newfoundland is a sea kayaker's paradise, but not for the faint of heart. The ocean may be cold, the weather sometimes harsh, but there is no other place to paddle with so many icebergs, whales, seals and seabirds combined with the warmth and humour of Newfoundlanders.

Safety Lessons
After the capsizes on the KNL Cape Broyle paddle, several of the trip leaders met with the KNL Safety Committee to de-brief the proceedings. We gathered descriptions of what happened from most of those involved. Seeing the situation from different points of view is enlightening. There is always something to learn from rescue situations. We'll apply the lessons to future club paddles. This way the club works to promote safety on our paddles and our trip leaders gain valuable insights for next time.
