Whether you're part of a club, paddle informally with friends, or want to feel more confident handling rougher conditions, this hands-on session offers solid, experience-based coaching in a supportive environment. Key Details Group size: Maximum 8 participants Course duration: 2 full days (Saturday–Sunday) Location base: Lochcarron, Scottish Highlands Instructor ratio: 1:8 Level: Intermediate and above Key Skills Improved self-rescue techniques Assisted rescue methods Paddling in rough water and tidal streams Surf handling and boat control Confidence building for leadership in informal groups What to Expect The weekend begins with an individual assessment of current paddling and recovery ability, allowing the instructors to tailor the training to suit each paddler’s needs. Saturday focuses on refining self-rescue techniques, introducing surf and rough water handling, and building confidence in unstable conditions. Using real-time feedback and drills, you'll identify what techniques work for you and gain insight into your strengths and areas for improvement. Sunday’s session moves into deep water and group-based rescue scenarios. Time is spent in the tidal flows of the Strome Narrows, where you'll practise assisted recoveries and develop strategies for managing a group in moving water. The course also includes discussion on leadership and decision-making, helping you feel more capable leading paddles with clubs or informal groups. By the end of the weekend, you’ll have a clear understanding of what to work on next and a solid foundation for safe, independent sea kayaking. Location Based on the shores of Lochcarron in the northwest Highlands, the training takes place in some of the most sheltered and reliable sea kayaking waters in Scotland. With access to Loch Carron, the tidal flow of the Strome Narrows, and the nearby coastline of Applecross and Loch Torridon, this area offers the ideal mix of safety, challenge and variety for progression. Lochcarron itself is a small Highland village with all the essentials within walking distance—shops, cafes, and local pubs—making it easy to base yourself here for the weekend. The kayaking base is located at the Lochcarron golf club car park. Those staying outside the village should factor in driving times when planning.
