On our basic kayak course, Calm, you learn what you need to continue to paddle on your own. You will not be an expert paddler instantly, but you will get a good control of the basics. Your time in a sea kayak will become safer, and maybe most importantly, much more fun.

The course day is a mix of theory and practice. You will get basic knowledge about kayaks and other equipment. You will learn techniques for entry and exit, we practise forward and backward paddling, stopping and turning the kayak in different ways. You will learn how to use the rudder and skeg and how to plan and implement your kayaking trips in relation to your own experience and expertise.

Towards the end of the day we will be ready to practice capsizing and rescues. Something that will strengthen your feeling of control considerably, and make you a more relaxed kayaker. Calm is the perfect day to prepare for a tour of your own. Or just to have a lot of fun. The course corresponds to the EPP (Euro Paddle Pass) yellow level, and are led by a certified sea kayak instructor.
