Sea Kayak Essentials Vol 1

I now have for distribution the great new DVD from Nick Cunliffe. One of the top sea kayakers in the country in my opinion.
This DVD is based on developing 5 Kayak Essentials and is suitable for intermediate and advanced paddlers wanting to take their paddling forward. Cost is £20 for over 1.5 hours of easy to follow and expertly demonstrated skill development. Obviously if you want to get out and practice these new skills give me a call. Drop me an email if you want a copy.

Develop your skills

People learn in different ways and we cater for this by running bespoke courses that are tailored to the needs of the learner. Courses do not necessary stick to a pre-determined syllabus and this allows us to maximise the learning process. To be able to do this we keep ratios low.

Active4seasons have plenty of experience and knowledge of the local area and will therefore be able to provide you with a safe and suitable route/ location, whatever your level of experience.

When looking for a coach or guide for an adventure it is essential that the level of qualifications and experience is verified. It is also vital to check that they have a current public liability insurance certificate (normally up to £5 million). You should also consider your own insurance to cover injury or loss of time at work.

You can rest assured that Active4seasons takes its responsibility for Health and Safety very seriously.

I now have the following plastic sea kayaks to try before you buy:

Prijon: Seayak, Odyssee and Excursian (doubles), P&H: Easky 15, Valley: Avocet, Aquanaut (origional version so near to a HV) and a Nordkapp, Tahe Marine Reval midi, Wilderness Systems Tempest 170.
