Sea Kayaking, Intro Course

This short sea kayaking course is perfect for families and beginners, taking place in the calm waters off the coast of Risør in southern Norway.  We often see seals sun bathing on the rocks, and sometimes we even see dolphins!

We begin the course with a brief introduction to the basics of kayaking and safety at sea, then kit everyone out with life jackets, wet suits and paddles.

The course is fun and instructive, and is a great introduction to sea kayaking, and by the end of the course we aim to teach you the basics:

• Lift, carry and launch the kayaks.
• Paddle forward 100 meters.
• Stop.
• Rotate the kayak 360 degrees. Both ways.
• Reverse Paddling.
• Paddle in a figure of 8.
• Paddle back to land and go ashore.
• Get the kayak out of the water.
