Kayaking
Canoeing, or kayaking as it is correctly called, is an extremely enjoyable fun sport for all the family. There are many different types of kayak and canoe and many different aspects of the sport to try, ranging from the sunny afternoon's paddle on flat calm water to the challenge and thrill of the surf and white water. Anyone contemplating taking up the sport would be well advised to learn the basics at a reputable school or club with fully qualified instructors in order that the safety aspects that need to be adhered to are learnt from the outset.

Beginners
Our beginners kayak courses are designed to introduce the newcomer to this enjoyable sport in a safe and fun way. Our courses are different from most canoe schools in the area. We do follow the British Canoe Union syllabus for the 1 2 & 3 Star courses. However, rather than charging a fixed fee per star test (as is the norm) we offer a five week course during which it is possible to pass more than one star test.
The course consists of:
* Four 2 hour sessions on Decoy Lake
* One half-day open-water trip - either coastal, estuary or river dependant on ability, weather conditions and preference.
* Maximum of six pupils per course.
On completion of the five week course there will be the oppertunaty to attend other open water trips if required. Cost dependant on size of groups.

ON ALL OF OUR COURSES ALL EQUIPMENT IS PROVIDED

Autumn/Winter Programme
From October onwards we run introduction to white water kayaking courses. On completion you would then be able to try one of our intermediate white water or surf kayak courses.
