ERK Canoe Club

What a fantastic weekend at the PSG Flatwater Marathon Champs at Longmere Dam, White River! From road-trip adventures, trailer duty, and fuel stops at ALZU, to great weather, good vibes, and even better paddling — it was a weekend to remember.

A huge thank you to the team at Lowveld Canoe Club for being incredible hosts and for the awesome organisation of the event. The goody bags were a wonderful touch, and your hospitality made us feel right at home.

Great people, great racing, and great memories. Until the next adventure! 🚐🚣‍♀️🏅

ERKies... We doing it again next year. Don't miss out!

Big congratulations to everyone who completed the ERK Summer Time Trials! 🎉🔥

From the first, to the final stride, you showed up, showed determination, energy, and true ERK spirit.

Winter time trials... Here we come!

If you know of anyone who might be able to assist... Have an old one gathering dust etc. please reach out to Owl Rescue Centre.

Does anyone have an old kayak gathering dust that they’d like to donate? We had a fantastic one donated a few years ago, but unfortunately, it was lost during a rescue on the flooded Vaal River.
While our rescue rubber duck is great, many of our river missions are only accessible by kayak. If you have one you're no longer using, it would be put to very good use!😉

A few great shots from the water and portages from the 1st Race of the Gauteng Canoe Union Flatwater Marathon Series this past Sunday at ERK Canoe Club, Homestead Dam, Benoni.

Just as the guppies went out for race start, we had a gentle drizzle and off they went.. as soon as the official "paddles up - go" command was given the sun came out. Some great individual shots in the portage.

Some fantastic photos.

The portage in action

Some great photos for the guppy race. Our youngsters did so well on the portage.

And a great start to the main race and dash.

Our ERK crew... Okay.. just a few off them (others where bust getting the braai on) for the PSG Flatwater Marathon Series 1st race!
