Wednesday Session All Full?
Want to develop your kayaking ability?
Then come right down to the boathouse for two hours of paddling this Saturday. George and Abigail will be leading a skills session where everyone can have some fun and learn some skills no matter what knowledge you already have.
If you are attending the Wednesday Session we'd ask you don't sign up for this one as well as we want to ensure as many different people get to come kayaking as possible!
This will be based off the (old) 2 star course. The aim being to get you confident and safe in your vessel.
We'll be ensuring you over the next few weeks you have these skills:
- Confidence Lifting, Carrying and Launching a kayak
- Paddling Forward/Backwards efficiently
- General Steering
- Manoeuvring in a confined space
- Moving Sideways
- Preventing a Capsize
- Turning
- Confidence with a spray deck
- Having Fun
and perhaps some of these, if we have time:
- Bow dip turns (in polo boats)
- Capsize, swim and self-rescue (with no panic!)
- Knowledge of the River Wear
- Rescuing others
- Canadian Canoeing
- Ferry Gliding
- Confidence at higher water levels
Can't wait to see you there
