Sea Kayak on the Lake
Supportive Sea Kayak Coaching For All Skill Levels
Whatever your goals, we believe that a solid foundation is the key to unlocking your potential. Whether you’re on a lake, river, or the sea, understanding how to refine your technique ensures you get the most out of every moment on the water.
On the lake, we offer three core courses designed for your progression. Whether you want to gain the confidence to head out solo, consolidate your current skills, or master advanced maneuvers in challenging conditions, we have the perfect path for you.
Even in advanced sea conditions, growth often comes from sharpening the basics. Our Fine Tuning course is a challenge you can return to time and again to sharpen your edge and continue your journey toward becoming a Sea Kayak Ninja. 🙂
Development Pathway
Sea Kayak 1
If you’re new to sea kayaking or have never had formal instruction, our foundation courses are the ideal starting point. They cover essential skills, safety, and rescues, giving you the confidence to paddle independently.
Sea Kayak 2
If you’ve completed a foundation course or paddle regularly but lack formal input, our skills development weekend is the perfect next step. It’s tailored to you, helping you perform confidently in more challenging conditions and get more from your time on the lake.
Sea Kayak 3
For experienced sea or lake paddlers, our fine-tuning and river or tide-race courses take your skills further. By refining advanced techniques on calm water, you build precision and confidence that transfer directly to the sea and the river.
