Information on the course content
Basic paddling technique & safety course
The basic course is aimed at beginners and paddlers who either want to learn basic techniques or refine their existing skills. You learn in a relaxed and safe environment. Training takes place in your own kayak. Rental kayaks can also be requested.
Optionally, the basic course can also be extended by one extra day. The knowledge learnt is then applied and consolidated on a joint kayak tour.
On request, the course can also be booked for an individual date.
Basic course two-person kayak
Paddling in pairs offers many advantages. Together you are faster, always have one hand free for photos and other useful things on a tour. In this course, you will learn how to optimise your paddling technique and coordinate all processes and tasks so that everything seems to come from a single source. You will also practise getting back on the water after a joint capsize. The course takes place in your own kayak
.Individual kayak training
In a relaxed atmosphere, we will address your personal paddling requirements on this day. Whether you want to improve your technique or learn something new to expand your options. We can organise the training according to your wishes. Partner or group training sessions can also be organised.

The course more than fulfilled our expectations. The necessary time was taken for each participant. Especially for me (Sonja), Thomas took care of my head lock when getting out from underwater and guided me step by step to my goal.
