Winter wonderland
"Guaranteed weather" on Winter weekends...ie only come if the weather is good and to your liking, you can even change plan if you turn up and the weather is not to your liking.
Book a weekend from the start of November to the end March and only come if you like the weather.
Often during the Winter the weather is fabulous, clear days, great views, (astounding air clarity, dry and long stable periods with little wind), ideal sea kayaking conditions.
But cold? Not necessarily, Ken is an experienced and qualified winter mountaineer Scotland, the Alps. Norway and Canada. Being someone that suffers fom the cold (reynauds phenomenom) Ken has an appreciation and understanding of cold discomfort and has developed techniques to deal with this .
He has transfered these techniques to Winter kayaking which he loves.
We provide one piece paddle/drysuits, warm paddle mitts, most importantly we can get prepared and dressed in the warm and make the best use of the venue.
Should you come and the weather is not to your liking you can claim a full refund with no conditions.
Club Coaching Weekends
Sea Kayak Scotland can enable your club to hold it’s own sea kayak coaching weekend, wherever you want to have it. Rather like a "portable symposium".
We bring the coaching resource - you bring the people, up to 50. Coaches will be provided at a ratio of at least 1 to every 5 club attendees.
The way it works is this: The club decides the location, picks a weekend, decides number of people and chooses the coaching modules from the list below. We do the rest. And of course, we would be happy to suggest a venue.
Prices around £40/person/day depending on numbers and venue.
Coaching content.
Have a look at the table at the bottom of this page. The list is not exclusive, so if you can't see what you want. drop us an email and let us know what you would like to include. Normally, we would provide a mixture of full day and half day sessions, but it's your choice.
Development for club coaches
Clubs are welcome to bring their own coaches too, so that they can work along side us.
Alternative disciplines
It's remarkable how experience of other padding disciplines can help you develop your skill. We have open canoes and white water boats and the qualifications to go with them. So try including something a bit different in the program and see how the new skills transfer to sea paddling
