Kayak Rolling Course. $195.00 (includes pool entry). Kayak hire additional.
Whether you paddle on the sea, lake or river, having the ability to roll your kayak will enahnce your
safety and increase your confidence in your kayak. We offer a three session course in the warmth and comfort of a heated pool to teach you the basics of rolling in a short white-water kayak. You can then transfer this learning to you own kayak.

Tailored Individual Instruction. POA
We appreciate that not all paddlers are at the same level of skill and one of our courses might not be suitable for you.
You may be wanting to polish your roll, perfect your paddling technique or learn more about different methods of self rescuing. You may want to learn how to launch and land your sea kayak through surf. You may be a group of paddlers wanting to know how to get more out of your kayaking.
We are able to tailor individual instruction to suit your needs and/or the needs of your group.
Please feel free to discuss this with us on the phone, or call into the store during shop hours.
Kayak Demonstration Sessions. Free!
We also host demonstration days/evenings during the warmer months giving you an opportunity to try a number of kayaks before choosing the one best suited to your needs. Further details will be posted here on our website at a later date, but please contact us for enquiries or further information in the interim.
