On our Moderate Water Skills course, (some times also called Inter-vanced sea kayaking), we will begin with an open discussion over a coffee based on what you need to develop in the wind, waves and tidal flow.  We will support you in developing your dynamic rough water skills, effective boat handling and understanding the effects of weather, tide and waves on the paddle plan. 

 

Our Moderate Water Sea Kayaking Skills course is ideal if you are a paddler who wants to improve your knowledge of practical and theoretical navigation and decision-making to keep you and your friends safe on the water. During the Moderate Water Skills Sea Kayaking course, we will share our expertise with you, taking you to some of the best dynamic waters that Anglesey and the UK have to offer. Each day will be a mixture of journeying and coaching whilst having fun, and there is no better way to progress your skills!

 

Here at Coastal Spirit, we will support and enable you to develop strategies to achieve your goals.  For example, working towards the BC Coastal Sea Kayak Award or becoming more self-sufficient.

 

For this course, you will:

  

  • have the ability to paddle in Beaufort Force 3/4 winds, 1.0 mt swell, 0.5 mt surf and up to 2 knots of current  
  • have a good level of aerobic fitness
  • be comfortable in the water

 

In summary, you will gain and develop:

 

  • effective boat handling in various moderate water environments
  • tidal planning and exploring the effects of weather, wind and swell on our intended journey
  • fun, lots of smiles and increased confidence!
  • an opportunity to work on your goals with professional guidance and support

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
Many thanks for the two splendid days of instruction which not only proved very useful but also proved very enjoyable.  We would not hesitate to recommend you to friends seeking instruction in the Anglesey area.
