KAYAKING - FOUNDATION SKILLS
Paddling a kayak for many folk seems an unconquerable skill as the kayak just seems to have a mind of its own. If you book on one of our kayak foundation courses then these skills will become second nature and youll soon be moving the kayak with ease. These courses are aimed at beginners or those with some experience who wish to develop their skills further.
No matter what your objective we will:- Provide you with a enjoyable learning experience;
