This course is designed for those who have never sat in a kayak of any kind and want to experience sea kayaking around the magnificent coastline of North Wales, Anglesey and the Llyn Peninsula. We particularly welcome paddlers from overseas and enjoy showing them what North Wales can offer.
A ratio of one instructor to only 5 students allows our experienced instructors to lead and guide you from your first tentative strokes until you feel at home on the sea, as befitting a salty sea dog.
Description
For this course, our emphasis is on introducing a basic grasp of kayak handling skills in North Wales coastal waters. Other features include Sea rescue, rough water paddling, tides, surf, planning a coastal journey, an introduction to navigation, weather forecasting and sea safety. Also, if weather and sea conditions permit, some coastal touring or an overnight expedition around the coastline of North Wales.
