Askersund Outdoor Festival

 We are excited to be running coaching courses this year as part of the Askersund Outdoors festival.

There should be something for everyone from the interested beginner to the more experienced paddler.  On the Sunday we will run a whole day course on expedition paddling including boat packing and trim, navigation and some expedition first aid. 

We’ll be situated on the main island in Askersund just as you come off the brygga, so you can’t miss us.

Bring your boat if you have one or if not then use one of ours.  We will bring a selection of rather fine Lettmann and Tiderace boats that you are welcome to use and try out.

To register for any of these courses please contact us in advance.
