This introductory weekend intends to introduce you to the sport, improve your confidence on the water and develop your paddling skills so that you leave with a firm grounding in the essential techniques of paddling.

We offer a seasonal rent for kayaks, paddels, Buoyancy Aids and neopren shoes. Drysuits can be rented 20 CHF per use.

This weekend is designed to set you off with all the strokes you need to efficiently move your boat around or if you already have some experience to fine tune your skills to become an independent paddler.

This award moves on from the two star and builds on your skills by adapting them to the moving water environment. At this level the award then diversifies and specialises in the different paddlesport disciplines of White water, Sea and Surf Kayaking and Open Canoeing.

Previously known as the British Canoeing 4 Star Award, this assessment is a one day course where you will be assessed in leading a group in moderate sea conditions.

Previous sea kayaking experience, ability to roll helps but not essential, desire to get experience in the wind, tides, waves and surf. Experience equivalent to or completion of the British Canoeing Coastal Sea Kayak Award
