6 Reasons to Enrol
Become a faster and more efficient paddler. Good instruction means you can gain skills in a day that would take a lot longer to gain on your own.
Fun, fun, fun. Good skills means you can have more fun on the water.
Increase your confidence with the ability to competently paddle and self rescue.
Start with good habits and avoid having to get rid of bad habits later on.
Learning to paddle within a group is a supportive and fun environment in which to learn.
Some stuff is just to hard to learn from books - we believe in “learning by doing”
TestimonialS
Had a great day with Rohan and Steve, two of the best instructors ever and they are nice guys as well. This is a fantastic sport that really needs expert tuition and this the only place to get it. The best selection of kayaks to learn in and try out and the location is perfect for all weather conditions with constant supervision and tech tips from Steve and Rohan. If you are thinking about taking up this sport then give Rohan a call and do this course!
