The 3rd Sea Kayaking Cornwall symposium will be a great opportunity to attend a variety of courses and to explore the beautiful Cornish coastline in the company of other paddlers.  On the Saturday you can attend a selection of practical and theoretical clinics. All of these courses will take place in the Falmouth Bay area.  Later on that evening there will be entertainment laid on preceded by a BBQ/meal for all.

On the Sunday you will have the opportunity to explore, with day paddles along Cornwall’s amazing coastline. These trips will be weather dependant, but it is hoped will take in ‘The Lizard Peninsular’ ‘Lands End’ and if the September Swells allow,  sections of the North coast will also be accommodated.  We will also run a variety of surf classes over the weekend

The Symposium is based at Tregedna Farm just outside Falmouth.  There is top quality bunk house accommodation or camping available.  We are limiting the numbers to 25 Full board and 45 Camping.

You will have the opportunity on the Friday evening and Saturday morning to decide on the courses you would like to attend.

During the following week we are offering some of our 5 day courses at discounted prices.

Week of discounted courses

Intermediate Sea kayaking

Length:- 5 Days

Price:- £325 reduced to £295

This is our most comprehensive learning experience.  You will work closely with us on the water as we develop every aspect of your sea kayaking skills.  We will look at navigation on and off the water to help you plan your own day and weekend trips.  During the week we will look out for the best areas to help you develop your confidence in rough water and boat handling skills.  We will teach you how to land and take off safely in small surf.  There will be the opportunity to practice rolling in a local swimming pool during one evening.  All the time that you are learning we will choose the best locations around to allow you to see what Cornwall has to offer.

Advanced Sea kayaking

Length:- 5 Days

Price:- £325 reduced to £295

This course has the same principles as the advanced sea kayaking weekend but with the opportunity to explore more of the Cornish coastline. We would hope to cover the 5* syllabus over the 5 days giving you chance to practice your personal skills, leadership and navigation.  All of your transport during the week is included in the price.

Sea Survival and Incident management

Length:- 5 Days

Price:- £325 reduced to £295

Any group or individual 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 in tidal races 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.
