This is a 3 hour course which will introduce you to all the basics involved
in sea kayaking. The course is designed for the complete beginner and as a
refresher for those who have already some kayaking experience, due to the ever
changing conditions no 2 intro sessions will be identical.
Basic
skills taught will be forward and reverse paddling, turning,
stopping, draw stroke, low brace. You will learn to capsize
and exit your boat on land and water. Eskimo rescue and X rescue.
On completion of this course you will be ready for the B.C.U. 1 star training and test and able to use our casual coached club session or join one of the more adventurous coastal trips.
All equipment will be provided, please bring a pair of tight fitting shoes (old trainers are ideal) and a towel for a well deserved hot shower after your session.
