If you have
done a bit of flatwater kayaking, feel confident on easy
moving water, and would like to experience the thrill and
excitement of paddling rapid rivers under your own steam;
our 2 day 'On To White Water - kayaking' course is for you.
We aim to help you become self sufficient within a small
group of paddlers on grade II water and to provide you with
the skills and knowledge needed for the safe enjoyment of
the sport.
What's involved: We start by looking at and refining your flat water paddling skills before going on to cover the essentials of white water paddling; ferry gliding, breaking in/out, wave surfing and stopper technique. We will also look closely at other skills such as reading and understanding water movement; safety and rescue techniques.
Previous experience: As well as an enthusiasm to learn and a sense of humour, participants should be competent and comfortable paddling on flat water and confident in a capsize situation. Pre - course refresher days are available by arrangement. If you are unsure whether you have the necessary kayaking experience to join these courses don't worry, just phone the office and we can discuss your current level of ability.
This course is ideal preparation for 'Welsh Winter Whitewater'
