'Paddlesport' - Canoeing and Kayaking

Canwio ac Ceufadio

Is your ultimate aim to cruise lazily on placid water admiring the scenery, or to sample the thrills and spills of white-water? Whatever you want from paddlesport, one of our canoeing and/or kayaking courses will give you a firm foundation of skill and experience.

At Mountain & Water we have a rich variety of paddling opportunities for you to experience. Our courses are run at several locations around Wales and range from introductory "taster" days to improver coaching on white-water and sea.

Between us we are qualified and experienced across the spectrum of canoesport, and if you are not sure what is right for you, we will help you choose the most appropriate craft and environment to get the most out of canoeing.

 We offer courses in open canoes, open-cockpit kayaks, and closed-cockpit kayaks. On some courses, you will have the opportunity to paddle all three types.

The emphasis of our courses is on gaining the skills and experience to progress to your chosen form of paddlesport. We do not follow a formal syllabus, but keep the programme as flexible as possible to address individuals' aspirations. However, BCU/UKCC 1, 2 and 3 Star tests and Paddlepower awards can be taken on appropriate courses, by prior arrangement.
