Hemel Hempstead club weekend 🤙🌊😁

Back in September, Ian and Pablo had the pleasure of leading members from Hemel Hempstead Canoe Club for their second annual visit to Pembrokeshire with us.

Here's some footage taken and edited by the talented Leigh van der Byl. We had a fun range of conditions, adding just the right level of optional challenges to accommodate a wide range of experiences.

A little different from the Mediterranean!! 🌊🪨😁

Last month, Ben had a fantastic four days coaching Alex, who had come all the way from Madrid to be with us! 🇪🇸

Alex wanted to build confidence and judgement around rocky coastlines (we think he came to the right place!). Whilst here, Alex also experienced his first beach surf and managed his first rolls 🥳🙌

Waves, rocks, and rescues on the coastline around Porthgain and Trefine 🌊🪨😁

The third and final day of our Advanced Course with Ian over the May bank holiday weekend and the group found some excellent conditions for progressing their skills around the rocks. This included time spent building a solid framework to deal with rescues and incident management.

Rockhopping and cave exploration around Ramsey Island 🌊🪨😁

Day two of our Advanced Course with Ian saw the group heading around the stunning Ramsey Island. Light winds made for another great day reading the water, whilst a solid long period swell meant there was still plenty of challenges to be found amongst the rocks!

🎉🎊 Congratulations to Alison and Fraser for both achieving the PaddleUK Advanced Sea Kayak Award with Ian over the May bank holiday weekend!! 🎉🥳
..also well-done to Matt, who already has the award but joined for the fun and further development 😉🙌

This is day one, where we had a fun and exciting trip around Skomer Island. During the journey, we focused on "reading the water" and maintaining a large sphere of awareness. We finished off in the ride race at Little Sound, working on some fun skills challenges 🌊😁

🎉🎊 Congratulations to Nick for achieving the PaddleUK Coastal Sea Kayak Award yesterday!! 🎉🙌

We had a fantastic two days of private coaching in beautiful sunshine (...also making sure to be off the water before the thunderstorms on day two!) 🌊☀️😁⛈️😬

On day 1, we ventured around Ramsey Island, negotiating some exciting swell, fast tidal flows, wind, and surf

On day 2, we headed out of Pwllgwaelod to work on rescues and incident management. Special thanks to for joining us solely to be dunked in the water multiple times!

Back at the beginning of March, Amy ran our first Women's Sea Kayak Retreat of the year in glorious sunshine ☀️😃

Here is what she had to say about it:

We had the perfect conditions for everyone's first day back on the water after the winter break from paddling.

Just enough swell to create some challenging rock gaps for those who wanted a little more excitement, but comfortable conditions away from the rocks for those that wanted a more chilled experience.

On the journey, we got to visit Fishguard Bay's fantastic coastal highlights (which now seems to include a new shipwreck, the Resolute, which sadly ran aground in December - luckily, no one was harmed in the incident)

Aside from that, it was just blimming lovely to eat lunch sat in the sunshine on a beach that only we could access 🌞

Our next Women's Retreat is in June, and currently, there are still a couple of spots available!

Some fantastic progression in windy conditions for the group on our development course with Amy last weekend 🌬😁🌊

On day one, Amy had the group working on confidence and boat handling skills in the wind around Porthclais.

They then headed to Sandy Haven on day two to develop their fundamental and journeying skills whilst practically applying learnings from the previous day.

A beautiful, calm day of private coaching out of Porthclais last week ⛅️🤩

Amy worked with Sue to develop some simple map reading and self location skills both in theory and on the water. They also used the beautiful conditions to progress Sue's fundamental paddling skills ahead of joining our development course on the weekend 🗺🧭
