Pinkston session

14/07/2015 18:30 - 20:30

An outdoor paddling session in the controlled environment of Pinkston Watersports Centre.

The flat water session is suitable for everyone.  The white water is for experienced white water paddlers, or learners already confident on flat water who want to try something more exciting.

Coached Flat Water

Coached flat water sessions are aimed at people new to kayaking, with the aspiration for developing into kayak disciplines of white water kayaking, sea kayaking or any other. There will be coaching to teach the basic strokes and boat handling skills for flat water. These coaching sessions will lead to confident paddling in flat water, allowing progression into other areas of kayaking such as Sea Kayaking and White Water Kayaking.

Supported White Water Sessions

These sessions are aimed at paddlers who are developing Grade 3 river paddling skills and confidence. This allows developing paddlers to get time on the water without the formal coaching, but with experienced club members on hand to offer advice.

The full course will be available to paddlers who have made two successful runs of the course with at least one successful break in and one successful break out at a coached session. The outflow will be available to paddlers able to demonstrate key skills of breaking in and out in that area.

Paddlers should be able to demonstrate successful self-rescue of themselves and their equipment, although normal river running rules apply, with all paddlers looking out for the safety of others.

 

We supply all equipment, or you can bring your own.

We provide wetsuits and cagoules if required.  Dress to get wet!

Price £5 for flat water or £10.00 including white water.

Bookings no longer allowed on this date.
