Aimed at those with some prior paddling experience or those aspiring to start a career in the outdoors industry, this specialist course offers skills, knowledge, and confidence alongside an industry-recognised qualification. Paddle further, explore more, and elevate your excursion to an expedition on the beautiful Cornish coast.
Prepare for an enriching experience as you complete our Sea Kayak Award course. Over two days in Port Gaverne, Cornwall, expect to delve deep into the intricacies of coastal kayaking.
You'll start by familiarising yourself with equipment setup and mastering route planning techniques, essential for navigating the dynamic coastal environment. Then, immerse yourself in practical sessions where you'll refine your paddling skills and learn advanced manoeuvres, all while soaking in the gorgeous scenery of Cornwall's coastline.
