Courses
Tideraces, Rolling & Rescues - Improver plus level
2 Day Course
This is aimed at people who have Sea Kayaked quite a bit but are wary of Tideraces but would like to navigate them. Inevitably you may well be able to roll in a swimming pool but your roll probably isnt very reliable on rough water or even when you capsize accidentally at any time. Similarly the course will show you how to rescue others more smoothly & be rescued yourself more smoothly.
We can cautiously take a look at the tideraces and how to either paddle down the middle or sneak around the side & if need be help with predictions from tide tables & pilots. Its worth having a dry suit or at least a wetsuit with dry cag. Let us know well in advance & we can supply the latter. NB Sea Kayak Oban where we meet has a range of Sea Kayak clothing including drysuits by Kokotat & the latest innovative design from Peak.
Free demo Sea kayaks by Tiderace, Necky, Point 65, Wilderness Systems, Perception, Prijon are available but its best to book in advance to avoid disappointment.
