This advanced sea kayaking course aims to allow you to really stretch your comfort zone and develop further your skills in advanced conditions. Come with an idea of what you want from your course and Roger will do his best to assist you in achieving your goals.
This advanced course is for those who have the Sea Kayak Leader Award or the Advanced Sea Kayak Leader Training or a similar level of ability and want to continue to develop rough water paddling, incident prevention and management. You will have:
Now it's time to experience the outer islands, race down the face of a wave, play in that tide race with greater efficiency and control, or practise an all-in rescue in rough water. Either way, you will leave a more confident, experienced and skilful paddler. So push your boundaries, discover your potential and feel the fun.
The Advanced Personal Performance Award is available on these weekends, and further information can be found here.

"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 "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."
"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"
