Outdoor Guernsey are now offering intermediate kayak skills sessions throughout the year.  These sessions are aimed at paddlers who would like to progress their knowledge and paddle skills. We will also teach the safety and rescue techniques that will give you the confidence to use your own boat and experience the freedom that kayaking with friends brings.

You are welcome to use your own boat and equipment if you have it or we can supply everything you may need.  The instructors will give advice on equipment and there will be opportunities to use different kinds of boats and try new techniques.  The sessions will also cover topics such as tides, weather conditions, the importance of local knowledge, what equipment to carry with you on a short journey and how to use it.

Our instructors will coach skills to British canoe union (BCU)standards but will concentrate on the skills you need in our local waters. We will assess for BCU 1 and 2 star awards if required.  We will also offer 3 star training and assessments by arrangement.

We offer 3 hour sessions at various locations around the Island and in different conditions. The sessions will be relaxed and informal and aimed at giving you the skills and experience you need to thoroughly enjoy your kayaking.  These sessions are aimed at paddlers with some experience already. If you are completely new to kayaking we recommend trying our kayak explorations first.
