FOUNDATION
This 1 to 4 days course will be tailored to beginners or to those who wish to refresh sea kayak basic strokes or follow a specific skill clinic (roll, rescues, etc.).
Location: Scuola di Mare Santa Teresa (Lerici), Liguria, Italy
Strong foundation allows to progress quickly and perform more effective and efficient paddle strokes. Progressing in paddling technique allows withstanding longer navigations and possibly avoids injuries in more demanding environments.
We will focus on paddling forward and backward, learn how to keep stability, perform 360° turns, moving sideways, stern rudder including different rescues in a way to suit your personal requirements. We will then put the skills learnt into practice paddling along the unspoiled coastline and exploring secret bays to locate the perfect picnic spot.
