Enhance your paddling skills and ensure safety on the water with our Paddlesport Safety & Rescue Course (PSRC). Whether you're an aspiring outdoor professional or an adventurous enthusiast, this course equips you with essential knowledge and practical expertise to navigate the waters confidently.
This course covers six modules and focuses on essential skills for safe paddling experiences. It starts with an examination of clothing and equipment, followed by safety frameworks, contact and towing rescues, self-rescue methods, deep-water rescue techniques, and personal reflection and development.
Participants will emerge with the skills, knowledge, and confidence to navigate the waters safely and effectively.
Join us in the spectacular surroundings of the Cornish coast, exploring remote beaches, coves, and sea caves from the picturesque Port Gaverne.
Participants should have some prior paddling experience and be able to manoeuvre their craft effectively in sheltered waters.
Our specialist courses offer more than just training; they provide an opportunity to elevate your paddling experience to new heights. With a focus on practical skills, industry recognition, and stunning locations, our courses empower you to paddle further and explore more with confidence.
This course is designed for individuals with some prior paddling experience. However, beginners are welcome to join provided they are comfortable manoeuvring their craft in sheltered waters.

The public conveniences in Port Gaverne (just back from the beach next to Raleigh Cellar and the hard-standing boat park) aren’t always open and we’d recommend using the public toilets in St Endellion Car Park (20p) before coming down into Port Gaverne.
We recommend that you only bring what is essential for your time with us. We can store bags in our equipment store but please note we don’t have any lockers and/or secure storage. Any valuables left in the care of us are left at the owners risk.

Please bring a large towel or changing robe to use.
We do sell changing robes if you’d like one.
We meet at Port Gaverne beach prior to our activities unless otherwise stated.

We recommend allowing plenty of time to find parking. Alternatively to minimise traffic congestion it might be easier if somebody can drop you off for the activity.
