Rolling examples as done by Jöns Aschan in the Fragrance low volume kayak and a greenland style paddle (GP).

Greenland style paddles and low volume kayaks gives some benefits in training rolling techniques. The paddle can be built to have more boyancy than the euro paddle. The boyancy is equal to the weight of the water displaced by the volume of the paddle, less the weight of the paddle. If it displaces 5 litres of water and the paddle weights 1kg, then the lift would be equal to 4kg or 40Newton.

Too tired arms to keep on paddling?

Too tired to follow, and awkward feelign in your arms and wrists, the others are happily paddling away or your kayak is turning in all other directions? Perhaps you'd like to become a successful competition kayaker or only do it for the joy. Don't let the small aches destroy it for you, but go and ask someone else analyse your forward paddling and fix it in small steps.

Relax

Your quickest entry to kayaking skills is to attend our five hour beginners course. Attend one of the sheduled courses and if you cannot match one of the available we try to organise one suitable for you. For groups larger than 4 people we can organise a bespoke class.  

The structure and emphasis in the course contents will vary to meet the skills and needs of the clients while the goal is to cover and develop skills and understanding needed for a 1 Star certificate. This course is also the basis for continuing towards 2 and 3 star asessments.

Our one day paddleclasses are packed with information and exercises. You save 2 hours by participating in 5 hour classes in comparison to 3 day evening-classes of total 6-7 hours instructortime, ie 9 hours course time. Preparing kayaks and equipment before and finnishing up takes an hour for each night.
