The origins of the group that now call themselves “Sea Cliff Paddlers” can be traced back to 1999 when Rob Mercer first started his regular midweek paddle.  The aim was to offer a weekly evening activity emphasizing safe exposure to real sea conditions, and Rob has continued to maintain this foundation principle right through to the present.

Over the many years of shared adventures, the group has grown in both size and capability remaining focused on safety training in the sea, building open water experience, developing stamina for long expeditions, and of course having fun in sea kayaks.

Through so many shared adventures “The Tuesday Crew” has developed a strong sense of identity. Recognizing the need for a stronger supporting structure, the “Tuesday Crew” took the opportunity to establish itself as a registered Club (Sea Cliff Paddlers Inc.) and affiliated with PaddleNSW and Paddle Australia in October 2023.

This club is now affiliated with Paddle Australia and the offering of regular paddles and targeted training opportunities will continue to expand into the future.
