OVERVIEW

We offer a range of courses from 3 hours to two days trips all year round. Our aim is to help you to develop safety & rescue skills in more dynamic environments like wind, waves, rock gardens, cold water and nightpaddling.

Safety and rescue skills

The program on this course is deep water rescues, towing skills, and difficult landings in more dynamic environments (wind, waves, rock gardens and surf). Working on eskimo roll/rescues can be a part of the course. Depending on the course venue we will also work on rescues in surf.

Night paddling

Night paddling is a wonderful experience, but requires knowhow on safety and navigation at sea. In this course we will guide you through the do’s and dont’s associated with paddling at night.

Winter/coldwater paddling

With the right gear and an understanding of the added risks presented by cold water paddling, you can safely paddle the year round.

We work in small groups, which allows for more individual coaching and feedback . All our courses are tailored to each participants level and needs.

Instructors: We are sea kayak guides trained by the Norwegian canoe association, British Canoeing and the International Sea Kayak Guide Alliance (ISKGA).
