With limited time, this 2-day course will concentrate predominantly on providing a basic introduction to sea kayaking.


Over the two days we aim to cover the following;

 

You will meet your instructor where you will be introduced to the course and the plan for the two days ahead. You will then head off to our kayak store to select your kayak and set it up, so it fits you comfortably.

Time on the water will be spent introducing you to basic paddling strokes and safety and rescue skills. By the end of the 2 days you should be comfortable paddling forwards and have the basic skills and understanding to start planning a short journey in calm conditions.

Our friendly instructors will be with you every step of the way, offering clear instruction, guidance and encouragement.
