Our InterMediate sea kayaking course on the beautiful Anglesey coast provides the essential skills for understanding tidal planning, paddling in the ocean swell, and blending strokes in progressive, dynamic water.  This course aims to gradually introduce Anglesey's dynamic water, with focused coaching to bring out the best of your skills. Providing you with an opportunity to develop your boat handling, planning and confidence. We’ll also explore decision-making - risk/benefit, safety and rescue skills.

 

We will look to introduce you to paddling in wind, waves and tide conditions whilst giving you the skills and knowledge to handle them.  We will use venues around the Anglesey coast so you can progressively experience dynamic water at a pace and level to suit you and the group best.  We will assist and support you towards becoming more self-sufficient.  To make the most of this course you can do the following:

 

  • You will have decided sea kayaking is for you and have done  a minimum of six days paddling on the sea.
  • You're happy to sit in a kayak for 2-3 hours and have good core strength.
  • You are comfortable kayaking in force 3/4 winds and 0.5m swell as per the photo above.
  • and are comfortable to launch and land through small waves.

 

Our Intermediate course aims to enable you to gain confidence, have fun, and develop skills and awareness in a progressive, dynamic water environment. 

 

You may consider and choose to explore the British Canoeing Sea Kayak Award.  More can be explained in the course.  For further information on the British Canoeing Personal Performance Sea Kayak Award, look here.

Courses and expeditions
Isle of Harris Exploration
The Isle of Harris is part of Lewis and is rich in natural beauty, sandy beaches and stunning wildlife. The golden eagle and white tailed sea eagles are highly likely to be seen most days.

We will be based at a campsite and if the weather is super settled we can decide if we do an overnight wild camp. During the last two years we've at least managed two nights wild camping.

You need to be an experienced moderate water paddler who can manage Beaufort winds f4/5 and occasionally stronger. You're also happy paddling a loaded sea kayak for 20km

We meet up on the afternoon of the 30th of April and leave on the morning of the 6th of May 2027. Zoe Robinson and Roger will be delivering the course. Both are advanced coaches and advanced sea kayak leaders.

Outer Hebrides by Tall Ship ... Intention St Kilda!
The Outer Hebrides are an outstanding and beautiful island chain. Sometimes called the Western Isles. Our intention weather permitting is to sail the 60NM to St Kilda, set in the deep Atlantic. 'Lady of Avenel' our mother ship and floating home - this is a lifetime experience with two adventures in one!

With Lori, Zoe and Roger as your advanced leaders. We meet on the afternoon of the 6th of June and load our sea kayaks onto 'Lady of Avenel' and kit into our cabins. You need to arrive on the 4th of June. This allows for any disruption with the CalMac ferry and a rest day, after a long drive). We arrive back in Castlebay on the 12th June.

You need to book and arrange your accommodation for the night of the 4/5th June and the 12th June.

There are two hotels, a bunkhouse in Castlebay and a short drive to Wavecrest campsite, which is where Lori, Zoe and Roger will be van camping.

Simon Turnbull

"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"

Stella King

"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"

Tavi Murray

"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."

We come recommended
I just want to say thanks. Although we only took part for 2 days we really enjoyed the course with a mix of very professional tuition and great surroundings around the Anglesey coast. I've learned a lot in these two days and feel much more secure on the water - hope to be back next year.
