Sea Kayaking

Sea Kayaking

Every Saturday morning between 0930 and 1130 come along and learn the skills to paddle a touring/expedition sea kayak, skills will be taught from the basic strokes up to and including those in the British Canoe Union 3 star personal performance award.  Sessions will be on the sea, but if conditions are too rough then the session will run on the safe environment of the canal, so that a comfortable learning environment will enable all to perfect their skills before transferring them on to the more dynamic conditions of the sea.

 

Once a month these sessions will be replaced by a journey, these will either be from the centre or taken to the many lovely coastal locations in the South East, venues will be decided nearer the date to take in to account weather and tide conditions.  Times for these are down for 1000 to 1500, but may vary if travelling is required to get to the paddling destination.  You’ll also have the opportunity to go for your 3 star assessment.  Book on with booking form on website and by emailing Rob at centremanager@seapointcanoeandkayakcentre.co.uk to reserve place.

Sea kayaking will now be incorporated into the Thursday evening session 1800 to 2000, skills will be taught up to and including those needed for the BCU/UKCC 3 Star Sea Kayak award, sessions will be on the sea but as mentioned previously if weather conditions do not permit this those skills will be honed on the canal.
