The course consists for 4 x 1 hours sessions taken over consecutive weeks plus a Beginner Friendly Adventure booked at a later date.
Over the 4 weeks we will cover how to paddle with efficiency, how to paddle straighter and faster for longer and how to engage our core muscles to sustain power. Setting you up to enjoy all of our adventures that take place up and down the country and across the world!
Included in the course is a Beginner Friendly Adventure that will be booked separately via a link. You can select a time, location, day that suits you. Beginners Friendly Adventures are usually within an hours drive of central Nottingham and last between two and three hours.
If you can’t commit to the 4 weeks we also do drop in progression sessions and a two hour progression workshop.
Looking for something more advanced check out our skills and drills sessions.

Buns over Guns
Utilising your bigger muscle groups and bodyweight to paddle longer and stronger.

The Recovery
