Kayak Coaching

Rob is more than happy to coach the more experienced paddlers who are looking to do their 4 star sea kayaking. We can look at your technique and build on your strengths. This is also an ideal way to get out paddling to gain logbook experience. We can also run B.C.U 1, 2 & 3 star tests. 4 star tests can be arranged.
