River kayak only for this session, and don’t forget your helmet.
This session is a refresher for those who are very rusty in a river kayak or those with little or no experience on moving water. (You should be comfortable in a kayak on flat water). This session will probably be park and play.
The session will cover
Kit review
Basic boat set up and safety
Paddling technique on moving water
Moving water hazards
Paddling in a group
What to do in the event of a capsize (your’s or someone else’s)
Anything else you want to know!
Bring snacks and a hot drink etc.
Should be finished before 2pm.
Will confirm details here by 7pm the evening before.
Remember the club now has small, medium and large river kayaks and associated kit for members to use for a small consideration of £10 per day which goes towards secure storage.
