Tired of swimming and having to pump the water out of your kayak? Attend our kayak rolling course with us, and we will teach you how to roll, giving you the tools to stay dry – or at least your legs will be!

Course Summary

 Some people will manage to roll on their first try, but the majority of people will need a little more practice. Our instructors are specialized in teaching kayak-rolling and will do so in a manner where you will feel safe at all times. We will adapt the course to suit your individual learning needs.

In the first part of the course, we will focus on correct posture and setup-position, practicing the key components to a successful roll on land and later in the water.

In the second part of the course, we will train your muscle memory so that the roll may become a natural thing for you to do if you capsize.

We recommend booking two sessions with 1-2 weeks in-between to learn a solid roll that will work in any conditions!

One course session takes 2 hours.
