"A gentle swell sends the waves tumbling up against the barnacled rocks as a cormorant spreads its shiny green wings to the sun. Up ahead three dozing seals come into view, lying above the seaweed line.  An excited hush falls as kayakers and seals contemplate one another, broken finally by the piping cry of an oyster catcher taking flight."

If you have never been in any sort of kayak before but fancy having a go at sea kayaking this is the course for you. We will introduce you to the fundamentals of boat handling skills, safety, weather and tides; and we'll get out on a journey fairly quickly too. We will work on skills to help you get to the BCU 1 Star. By the end of the course you should have a fairly good idea if sea kayaking is something you want to take forward and how you might do that.
