Kiwi Association of Sea Kayakers (KASK)

KASK was established in 1992 as a national association for sea kayaking in New Zealand. An incorporated society, it is run by a national committee which is elected annually.

KASK is supported by 16 regional sea kayak networks and clubs which organise trips and provide services at a local level. KASK maintains close liaison with allied organisations such as –

Water Safety NZ (WSNZ)

Maritime New Zealand

New Zealand Outdoor Instructors Association (NZOIA)

 


 KASK’s aims are to:

1. Promote and encourage the sport of sea kayaking
2. Promote safety standards
3. Develop techniques and equipment
4. Deal with issues of coastal access and protection
5. Organise sea kayak forums around the country
6. Publish the New Zealand Sea Kayaker magazine and the KASK Handbook
