You should already understand your craft and environment and be ready to push your boundaries with coached mileage on Geopark coasts. 📋 Key Details Format: Two-day course for experienced paddlers Suitable for: Adults aged 18 and up Group size: Two minimum, up to six maximum Season: Spring through early summer and autumn blocks (confirmed when you request a place) 🌊 What to Expect We develop your ability to paddle in a range of conditions so you can manage the craft and return safely if the environment changes. Solo paddling, incident management, deep-water rescues, rock landings, towing, and calling for help are practised in realistic coastal settings. Day one focuses on technical control in sheltered water before progressing into open water and rescue practice. Day two emphasises incident management, surf and rock landings, and launching or landing in small surf on beaches and slipways. 📍 Location Venues are chosen for the syllabus and forecast, with journeys of roughly 12 to 16 km across sites such as Oddicombe, Meadfoot, Paignton backwaters, Brixham and Berry Head, Dart access, and Teign routes. You may train in our fleet or bring your own boat to learn how to get the best performance from the kayak you paddle most often. ✅ Prerequisites You should be a confident paddler with prior sea kayaking experience, comfortable in wind around force 3 to 4 and familiar with basic self-rescue techniques. We consider weather windows when scheduling so you have flexibility and we can pick suitable conditions. Tell us your paddling history when you request dates. ✨ Why Choose Us Coaching is delivered by experienced sea kayakers who work these coasts through the year, so examples and scenarios match real local conditions. Small groups keep time for personal feedback on technique, rescue practice, and decision making during journey legs. ### Essential information _None._ ### What’s included Expert instruction from experienced kayakers Necessary equipment Comprehensive guidance on incident management and technical skills development ### What’s not included Transport to and from the meeting point ### Kit list _None._ ## FAQs ### What level of experience do I need? You should already be a confident sea kayaker, ideally after our two-day improvers course or equivalent structured training elsewhere. Comfort paddling in wind around force 3 to 4 and familiarity with basic self-rescue techniques are important before you join this syllabus. ### What equipment do I need to bring? We provide kayaks, paddles, and safety equipment unless you arrange to train in your own boat. Bring swimwear or quick-dry layers, water shoes, sun protection, snacks, and drinking water for long days on the water. Technical outer layers are issued when the forecast requires them. Transport to the daily meeting point is not included. ### Is there an age limit for the course? Participants must be 18 or over because the course includes demanding open-water work and incident-management scenarios. Share any health considerations when you request a date so coaches can plan pacing and venue choice appropriately. ### Which courses should I complete first? Complete our two-day improvers sea kayaking course first, or send your paddling log if you trained with another provider. We review your background before approving a place to make sure the intermediate content is the right next step. ### What does day one cover? Day one builds technical control in flat and sheltered water, then moves into open water sections and self- and assisted deep-water rescues with time to repeat skills until they feel reliable. Coaches link each exercise to how you would use it on a real coastal journey in Torbay or South Devon. ### What does day two cover? Day two focuses on incident management, communicating in a group, landing on surf and rocks, and launching or landing in small surf from beaches and slipways. You practise scenarios that help you cope with most common problems on day trips after the course ends. ### How far will we paddle? Total distance over the two days is typically in the 12 to 16 km range, split between skills sessions and guided journey legs. Exact mileage depends on conditions and group pace; we prioritise quality coaching over covering distance quickly. ### Can I use my own kayak? Yes, many intermediate students prefer to tune outfitting and rescue practice on the boat they paddle regularly. Tell us when you request a date so we can confirm the craft suits the planned venues. Coaches can also suggest adjustments to skeg use, trim, and loading for touring days after the course. ### What if the weather changes? We adapt venues and exercises to the forecast, using sheltered water for skills when wind or swell increases and returning to more exposed sections when safe to do so. Your safety guides every decision; we may reschedule elements if conditions are unsuitable for the syllabus on a given day. ### What should I do after this course? Many paddlers plan their own day trips using the rescue, towing, and landing skills from the course, or join guided Geopark tours for coached mileage without a fixed syllabus. We are happy to suggest local routes and tide windows when you request follow-on dates after you graduate. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://wp.adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/yHYzqUhS.jpg - **Gallery image count**: 3 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
