SKU: SK Kayak Rolling - North Shore Category:

Description

Do you want to push yourself in rougher water, but don’t because you may take a swim? Well, get into an Eskimo Rolling Course and move on.
Kayak rolling is always a challenge, but it is made much easier when it’s taught progressively and with the correct technique to ensure you roll back up consistently and safely.

What you’ll learn:

 Water confidence, through a progressive training system developed over twenty years we will help you develop your underwater confidence so that you can control the natural panic that we all feel when upside down in our kayaks.  This is the first step to gaining a reliable Eskimo Roll as it allows time underwater to deploy the skills you have learnt to achieve a reliable Eskimo Roll.
  • Correct body and paddle movement to make the roll easy. When you use the main muscles in your body and have the paddle in the correct place an Eskimo Roll requires almost no effort. Through a series of teaching points, you will learn these secrets and become familiar with each step to gain success.
  • We learn at the beach to give you have a “bomb proof” roll, fit for any adventure.
  • We’ll help you adjust your kayak. It’s important to be as snug and as one with your kayak as you can be so that your kayak responds as a good running shoe does to your foot. Not like a wet jandle on a cross country run.


For many, their biggest fear is going upside down in a kayak but by learning to roll a kayak (or Eskimo roll), you will gain a huge amount of confidence and control out on the water. Kayak rolling can be easy to learn when it is taught progressively and with the correct technique to ensure you roll back up consistently and safely. Small groups of up to four students make this a fast way to learn. On average it takes most people four sessions to get the basics of rolling and we encourage you to continue to practise your rolling technique or do so out on the water regularly to perfect your technique.
The course is a series of four 1.5 hour afternoon sessions.

Kayak and equipment are included in the fees. (There is no rebate if you supply your own)

Transport is not included; it may be possible to share a ride with other clients or the instructors if available.
