First Time
If you are just starting out, it is critical to learn the kayak roll correctly from the beginning. A roll enhances confidence and ensures fast progress in the sport. We have two courses on offer to people after there first roll, First Time (Starting Out) and First Time – Deep Knowledge.
What does this course offer me?
Our courses ensure you get the best start in your new sport by establishing a solid skill foundation free of bad habits that may hinder your progression in later stages of your development. A poor kayak roll will erode confidence, slow progress and may become an underling factor for not kayaking up to your potential. Once you have a solid roll it will change your kayaking forever. The First Time (Starting Out) course covers:-
- Water confidence
- Movement Exercises
- Paddle dexterity
- Front Roll Technique
The Deep Knowledge course is a two-unit (both taken on the same day) program with unit one taking place in the classroom and unit two taking place in a pool. Deep Knowledge covers:-
- Dry land drills
- Mental rehearsal
- Development planning
- Observation and analysis
- Video analysis on technique
After this course you will either be able to roll or understand exactly what you need to do to make this happen.
What level of ability do I need to be?
These courses are for anyone who would like a safe and enjoyable introduction to kayak or canoe rolling techniques.
