Preparation guide
All you really need to bring is swimwear. Our stores have a wide range of Peak UK soft wear as well as paddles and poles. We have an extensive selection of different styles of canoes and O39kayaks from a range of manufacturers. This is an ideal opportunity to try something new if you'd like to. If you prefer the familiar, feel free to bring along your own kit. A means of capturing video would also be really useful to take away some footage.
There's no specific preparation necessary - you just need to be an active coach with an interest in coaching rolling.
