Itinerary

* Please note: Itinerary is subject to weather and availability.

What to Expect

You'll start off in our heated pool using smaller kayaks as we introduce the underpinning skills of an effective kayak roll. We'll then get you doing it in sea kayaks. Once you've mastered this in the pool, you'll move onto our pond and lake to get used to the colder outdoor environment.

Experience Required

You should be confident to capsize wearing a spraydeck.

Preparation guide
Our pool is equipped with kayaks of various sizes and shapes. You may wish to bring your own wetsuit, spraydeck, paddle etc, but we provide you with all of these. You'll find it useful to bring along a nose clip to ease the sinuses from continuous immersion. 
Rolling can be tiring, so being fit will help you get the most from the course. Flexibility is another key factor in success so increasing your flexibility and mobility well ahead of the course will help to ensure success.
