Adventure racers
We'd like to help all you aspiring Adventure Racers out there. It's possible to lose a serious amount of time and blow a lot of energy even over the relatively short kayak section. We can help you paddle this part of the race efficiently and quickly.
On our Try Sea Kayaking sessions, we never have more than 4 students per instructor so there's plenty of time for individual instruction and feedback. Just let us know your interest and we'll concentrate on developing your skills over the morning.
