Its a memorable feeling rolling a kayak for the first time, we want to be there!



Rolling a kayak adds a huge amount of confidence to your kayaking. The kayak roll is one of the more tricky maneuvers to master, and may take regular training sessions. Rolling will become a very important part to advancing your kayaking skills. We understand paddlers fears or concerns and have a patient style to improving your skills.

The day will begin at 9:30am talking over a coffee the skills required and to be learnt. A morning session out on the river to warm up the body and get the brain in paddle mode. This session will help you to understand and practice the skills required to roll a kayak. Support and recovery strokes will also be covered on the course. After lunch we will move onto the roll, spending 2 hrs going over the skills, giving you chance to feel the actions required. This course is great for improving your confidence and support strokes highlighting a stable paddling position.

The afternoon will be spent upside down in the river, your own dry cag is recommend, and a nose clip..

We do not say you will roll on the day, as all paddlers learn at their own pace. Breaking the kayak roll down into small sessions we use a simple method of teaching the roll and will tailor the training to suit your ability. This rolling course is great to improve your confidence upside down in a kayak and understand how to paddle more balanced and support yourself effectively before a capsize.

A roll is a requirement for the 3 star kayak ww assessment.

NOTE: We can run this course using an indoor pool at request with an increased fee of £80 pp
