Love paddlesports and want to help make them accessible? If you believe in equal opportunities and enjoying the moment together on the water, you’re in the right place.
We’re always welcoming volunteers for our adaptive programmes, and we also mentor aspiring guides and leaders along their training path.
You don’t need prior experience working with people with disabilities. What matters most is enthusiasm for sport, a positive attitude, reliability, strong people skills, a willingness to learn, and a reflective mindset.
We’ll help you find courses that suit you—both paddlesport-specific and disability-sport-specific.
Send us a short introduction and any questions. We look forward to paddling with you!

Coaching Philosophy
At Hightide, we believe in coaching the individual. Our courses start from where you are and guide you toward your personal paddling goals.
For some, this means building confidence to paddle and enjoy nature. For others, it’s about improving efficiency for expeditions or long-distance paddling. It could also involve developing the skills to venture onto the sea or mastering techniques for rivers, rock gardens, and surf.
Whatever your aim, our extensive experience on the ocean and deep understanding of sea kayaking will help you move forward. All our coaches come from a sea kayaking background, hold professional qualifications, and are passionate not just about paddling but also about coaching. We’ve spent years refining what truly makes a difference in the sport and are committed to delivering it in the most effective way—by making you feel the learning.
When you join a Hightide course, you’ll leave with a clear understanding of how to keep improving and a structured way to retain what you've learned. We see our role as creating the right conditions for learning, so your progress continues long after the course ends.
