AUMC has two full size kite kits and one four-line inflated leading edge trainer. I’m planning to get some practice in with the trainer. I currently work at West Lakes Aquatic Centre, 100 Military Rd West Lakes Shore. One of the Tennyson Dunes carparks is just over the road with paths leading through to the […]
Reminder to members that they don’t have to wait for Committee members to organise events. Melinda Krebsz emailed me: I heard about the cuttlefish snorkel when I saw the post on the website of Adelaide University Mountain Club. Unfortunately I missed the official snorkel trip in May.

Sorry about the old numbers, that’s still the way it is. 2 foot swell means about 3 foot (1 metre in the […]
It might look like a waste land in the background, but is really just a heap of sea weed at Adelaide Shores, where aspiring AUMC kayakers are trying out their paddling technique on land, before launching. Twelve people attended, and we had a great day learning how to paddle effectively and with style (even sideways). Everyone capsized and […]
