Sea Kayaking Safety inc rescues -Intro to Improver leve.
These essential courses have recently been developed to meet the needs of the relative beginner sea kayaker whom wants to become more self sufficient.
This is available as a 1 day or more relaxing 2 day course. It gives those who have paddled a bit before the opportunity to practise the skills neccesary to keep themselves safe and to sort things out when it doesnt all go as planned.
You have the opportunity to try any of the 40 different sea kayaks in Sea Kayak Oban (the ideal kayak for you at your price has to be there), After selecting your kayak we discuss the basics of trip planning then its straight on to the water to look at basic skills required to cope with a variety of conditions . We can show you the effects of wind on tide and how to get the best performance out of your sea kayak. Bring lunch with a hot flask and then towards the end of the day we can experiment with different rescue techniques..
If you have already worked on rolling we can review this in the clear shallow water nearby. Finally we finish back at Sea Kayak Oban to review the day (or 2 days)
