Introduction to Sea Kayaking

With perfect conditions Sea Kayaking Cornwall ran a two day Introduction to Sea Kayaking based off Maenporth Beach. Our intro courses have been very popular so far this year. We have an amazing environment to get you into the sport. This group were all keen to give it a go. (Above - Andy, Ruth, Neil, Catherine, Pauline and Me).

On the first day we spent time going through the basics and learning lots of different ways to turn the kayaks. There was also time to explore and do a few challenges along the way.

On the second day we traveled from Maenporth to the Helford river. We stopped off along the way to rest on some beaches you can only get to by sea. After falling asleep in the sun over lunch at the ferry boat we headded back around to Maenporth. Being out in the amazing sun all day drained everyone and i am sure everyone slept well that night.

Thanks to everyone on the course. Hope you enjoyed it as much as i did.

Introduction to Sea Kayaking

After the weekend of rough water the seas calmed off to give us the ideal conditions for a two day one on one intro course with Colin. It was great to see him develop his skills rapidly out on the water. I worked with him for the first day and then Jeff has taken over today. It really feels like summer here now but without the tourists. This is proberbly one of the best times of year.

Colin had never been in a kayak before and was keen to try somthing new. over the two days we covered all of the basic strokes and made a journey from Maenporth Beach to the Helford river. With wall to wall sun and calm seas, how can you not enjoy sea kayaking.

Thanks Colin it was good to work with you.
