Tidsschema
Beginners sea kayaking course
- 13.00 - 17.00
- Friday Afternoon
- We’ll start with the basics and assume nothing. How to select a suitable kayak for your needs, how to adjust the foot pegs and back rest. Choosing a paddle, how long should it be, how big a blade, what about a Greenland paddle? We’ll look in detail at the forward paddling stroke and analyse your own stroke using i-pads and slow motion replay to try and help you develop a comfortable and efficient technique that will keep you free from injury. We’ll also cover a range of useful turning and manoevering strokes, how to stop and what to do if and when you capsize. Price: 500 Kronor per person, maximum 8 people.
Intermediate and more advanced paddling
- 09.30 - 13.00
- Saturday morning
- We’ll assume a good level of competence in flat water forward paddling and cover more advanced boat handling techniques, for example when and how to use a cross bow rudder, stern rudder as well as hanging draw strokes in rougher water. We will listen to the participants wishes at the start and try and adjust this course to meet your needs. If time allows we’d like also like to include some rescue scenarios and incident management Price: 500 Kronor per person, maximum 8 people.
