Cornwall has so much
spectacular kayaking to
offer and we hope to
indulge you in this
while developing your
skills along the way.
This course is aimed at
kayakers who already
have basic skills. If
you are unsure of the
standard required please
feel free to
contact us
and we can talk it
through with you.
Ideally people should
have covered everything
on our introductory
course to have a solid
grounding to develop
during the intromediate
sea kayaking course.
Each day we will try and
do the best paddling
trips available as well
as looking at the
relevant skills and
theory required for safe
day expeditions.
Cornwall is the best
kept secret in Britain for
sea kayaking with the
Atlantic Ocean all
around. It has a wide
selection of paddling
locations available. We
keep the group sizes
small so that we can
tailor the course to the
group’s needs and
abilities.

is only as strong as
their weakest link.
Where is yours?!
Are you fully prepared
for that first incident?
Have you pressure tested
your group skills and
procedures in a variety
of different
environments or
situations? This
course is designed to
teach you skills and
procedures that will
help you to develop a
step by step thought
process, to enable you
to handle many potential
incidents on the sea
under pressure. With
poor or no possible
landings we will be
forced to deal with sea
sickness, dislocated
shoulders, a trapped
paddler, heart attack,
holes in boats, broken
paddles, lost equipment,
imploded hatch covers,
hypothermia, very
difficult landings,
capsizing while towing amongst
other bad things! After
two days of these
scenarios our aim is to
decrease the chances of
these incidents from
occurring and increase
your ability to deal
with them. At the
end of the course you
can be awarded the BCU
Fundamental safety and
rescue qualification (FSRT).
