After booking you will be asked to select a session from the following options. Moving into Moderate

If you want to paddle with confidence and efficiency in moderate conditions, to control your kayak with accuracy and efficiency - this theme will focus on essential skills for dynamic waters. We’ll take a progressive approach, building your skills for a variety of conditions. If you paddle as a member of a led group and/or have previously restricted your sea kayaking adventures to relatively calm conditions (BFT. force 2-3) come and join this team for an amazing weekend. 

Advancing to Advanced

If you are happy in moderate conditions and wish to move into advanced ones this is the theme for you. Over the tree days you will focus on applying foundation skills to more challenging conditions. You’ll develop technical skills, decision-making and increased confidence in exciting paddling environments. This is a great step from moderate water to advanced water. If you’re an independent paddler in moderate conditions (up to BFT. Force 4), and are happy  dealing with wind and waves this could be the right choice for you.  (a reasonably reliable roll would be an advantage)

Ready for Rough Water

If the thrill of dynamic water is what you are looking for then this is the choice for you. You coach will work with the conditions on the day to give you the opportunity to develop your skills confidence and understanding of the various rough water options we have around the anglesey coastline. This could include tide races, wind and waves, rock hopping or playing of chunky headlands. If you’re used to paddling with independent groups in more challenging conditions and are confident in waves, surf and stronger tidal streams then you will fit right in. (a reasonably reliable roll would be preferable but not essential)

Locking in your leadership (Moderate)

This theme will focus on developing your leadership in moderate sea conditions. Expect to improve your group management, safety and rescue, decision making and of course personal skills.You will be exploring CLAP in action, planning/anticipation, communication/group management, route choice and positioning and your coach will involve you in all aspects of the planning and navigation. You don't need to have aspirations of becoming a leader, everything covered in this theme will make you a better around paddler and group member too.

Locking in your leadership (Advanced)

This theme is as above except it will take place in advanced conditions instead of moderate water conditions.

Which ever theme you choose your coach will make sure you have the right level of challenge and support, as always if its not the right fit for you we will do our best to find on that is.
