This one-day course is designed to build confidence in sheltered water environments, focusing on practical safety and rescue skills that you can use straight away. 🧭 Key Details Duration: 1 day (around 6 hours) Location: Whitewave, Linicro, Portree Minimum age: None 🧑‍🏫 Key Skills Safety decision-making in sheltered water Self-rescue techniques across paddlesports Assisted and contact rescue methods Towing and recovery skills Understanding paddlesport safety frameworks Practical problem-solving on the water 🛟 What to Expect Throughout the day, you’ll spend time both on and off the water working through a range of real-world paddlesport scenarios. Your instructor will guide you through key safety principles before moving into practical sessions covering rescues, assisted recoveries, and self-rescue techniques. Everything is broken down clearly so you can build confidence step by step, regardless of your current experience level. You’ll also look at how to make better decisions on the water, including how to assess conditions and manage risk in sheltered environments. A big part of the day is hands-on practice, so you’ll have plenty of time working through different situations in your chosen craft, whether that’s kayak, canoe or SUP. By the end of the course, you’ll have a much clearer understanding of how to handle common issues on the water and support others if needed. 📍 Location Sessions are based around Whitewave in Linicro, just outside Portree, with access to sheltered coastal and inland water suitable for training. This makes it an ideal area for practising rescues and safety techniques in realistic but controlled conditions. The exact meeting point will be confirmed a day or two before the course, usually somewhere around the Trotternish peninsula. Skye roads can get busy, particularly during peak periods, so it’s worth allowing extra travel time to avoid rushing your start. 🧑‍🏫 Prerequisites Some prior experience in your chosen craft is needed, as you’ll be working in a sheltered water environment where basic control of your kayak, canoe or SUP is expected.
