Individual & Small Group Coaching: Your Personal Path on the Water
At Hightide, we believe that the most rapid progress happens when the coaching is 100% focused on you. Our half-day private sessions (3 hours) are designed to meet you exactly where you are. Whether you want to refine your forward paddling efficiency, master essential safety and rescue techniques, or build confidence for rough water, we tailor the entire session to your personal goals.
Why Choose Private Coaching?
The beauty of a private session lies in its flexibility. With a dedicated coach, we can dive deep into the specific techniques you need, providing you with a personalized "toolbox" of skills to practice and internalize long after the session ends.
Bring your Crew: You don’t have to go it alone! Our private coaching is open for up to 5 people, making it the perfect way to learn alongside your partner, friends, or family. Working on techniques together not only doubles the fun but creates a shared foundation for your future paddling adventures.
- Customized Curriculum: You set the agenda—we provide the expertise.
- Rapid Progression: Immediate feedback means faster results.
- Flexible Environment: From the calm of Lake Brienz to targeted skills training.

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.
