Advanced Sea Kayak Weekend

Duration: 2 Days

Course Aim: BCU 3 Star Sea training with an action plan for further development.

Minimum Standard: At least 10 coached days paddling or a comfortable grade 2 paddler. The ability to roll would be useful. If you are unsure if you have the sufficient skills for this course please contact the centre and talk to one of our instructors.

Throughout this weekend, the emphasis is on improved technique and boathandling in sea kayaks, leading to the development of these skills in increasingly challenging conditions.

The coastline of North Wales and Anglesey offers a wealth of different paddling options with headlands and sea cliffs, tide races, over-falls and the Swellies to name a few.

We will use our pool to improve rolling and run practical workshops on safety and rescue skills, before putting all to the test outside. Together with tidal planning and practical navigation you will leave the course with an enhanced skill level and hopefully lots of new tools to deal with the challenges that sea kayaking has to offer.

Kit and Clothing

Plas Menai provides all necessary kit, equipment and personal protective clothing including wetsuits, buoyancy aids, cagoules, helmets, spraydecks etc, however you are very welcome to bring your own if you wish.
