Event information

This event has passed.

In order to help people learn about how to minimise risks while on paddling trips, and to cover the theory required for the next group of leaders I will be running a theory night on paddling, starting from about 6:30pm. 

Please note that this will be exclusively theory. It will be held online, and the link will be sent out closer to the date. If you want to learn about the practical useage of these skills then let me know, and I will go over the practical applications at some of the pool sessions.

The main topics that will be covered between this and subsequent sessions are:

  • group management
  • paddling equipment - types and correct usage
  • teaching capsize drills
  • teaching basic paddle strokes
  • simple rescue/recovery techniques

Come along, bring a friend. This evening is open to people from any of the uni clubs that do kayaking.

If you have any queries then feel free to contact me via email or on 0447175927.

Cheers

Michael
