This course is for moderate water to advanced paddlers who are comfortable in F4 winds, 1m swell, 0.5 m surf and 2 knots of moving water, as a minimum.

Course dates are out and into August 2027.
Here's a few photos of the last couple of months and a short raw video clip to remind you what we've been up too.
Roger has aimed to create more space between courses to allow for a bespoke day or two at 1:1 or 2:1. Keep in mind if you have specific goals either Zoe Robinson or Roger may be able to assist and guide you towards achieving your aspiration.

"The composite Virgo has been amazing. Very high performance, a dream to be able to accelerate quickly, as well as a wonderful carry to and from the water!
I've managed twice to paddle in the Swellies (solo and then with a friend) and once on South Stack tide race, on the ebb solo. South Stack was perfect as the wave faces were long and I could actually carve and change position on the wave. The boat really wants to surf!" - Roger Chandler, Coastal Spirit
📷: Craig Young "I've just completed a two day 4* Sea kayak training course with Roger. Having been coached by Roger in the past, I choose to do this course with Roger because I knew I would get a great deal from the course. My expectations were certainly well and truly met"
"There are a number of wonderful things about Roger. He has a very light touch in his coaching, and he's always smiling and encouraging you to relax into the enjoyment of the day"
"And I'm probably learning more from his mentoring now, as my paddling horizons expand, than ever before. I can't count how many questions I've asked... and he's answered. Roger has the knack of making that suggestion that radically changes your thinking and moves your paddling on in leaps and bounds."
