Driving Experience Days: This introduction to kayaking is a fantastic and fun way to
learn paddling, as you spend 2.
5 hours with a BCU paddling
instructor learning all the essential kayaking skills you need so
that you can get out there and safely enjoy the UK's beautiful
rivers, lakes, and coastlines!
To kick off your kayaking lesson, you will meet with your BCU
qualified kayaking instructor and the rest of your group for an
introductory briefing, to discuss safety issues and kayaking
techniques, and to get you fitted for and kitted with your
floatation jacket.
Once everyone is ready and geared up, it's time
to get paddling!
You'll learn simple but important techniques like getting in and
out of the boat, and learn basic skills such as proper technique
for paddling both forward and backwards.
You will work on different
paddling strokes that you can use to control the craft.
Once you
have spent time working on your technique, your instructor will
take you on a short paddle downriver where you can really start to
experience the feeling of freedom that kayaking offers!
A fantasic beginners kayaking lesson, this introduction to kayaking
makes a wonderful gift for anyone who wants to try something
totally new and different!
