What you’ll learn:
- Group control

- Edging or railing your kayak to gain more control

To excel at anything you need input, well get ready for input overload.
Over two days we will push the limits of your ability to control your sea kayak and get the best out of your body. Developing your ability to recognise potential risk and managing it early is crucial to good group management. And then if it goes all wrong how to fix it.
Scenarios will be challenging and will require you to take charge and use the skills taught earlier.
This is a wet course with loads of challenge and laughter.
