Sea Kayak Essentials

DESCRIPTION

This is an essential course for all paddlers intending to progress to safe, independent self-led trips on the sea. The topics covered during this practical weekend will help you to make informed decisions afloat, anticipate problems, solve them when they arise – and get home alive!

Key areas include: trip planning (weather and tidal considerations), navigation (following a compass course, dealing with poor visibility), safety and rescue techniques (deep water rescues, towing skills, problem solving) and other subjects such as VHF use and Coastguard communication.

By the end of the weekend you will be better informed, more skilled and confident to enjoy your own independent sea kayaking adventures.
