Basic safety course
If you are planning a longer kayak trip and have previous kayak experience this the tour for you. We talk about equipment, route planning and risk assessment. We also practice different towing techniques, buddy and self rescue.
We start with a theoretical walk through equipment, route planning, weather forecast and risk assessment. This is followed by practicing buddy rescue, self rescue, towing with short and long leash and how to help an person that cannot re-enter or has lost the kayak.
We continue to practice balance by joining kayaks in a raft and changing seats with each other. Stand up paddling with our kayaks and much more to challenge our selves in a fun way and practice capsizing and rescue.
The goal is that everyone should feel more secure and have better understanding of basic rescue so that next time you will go kayaking you will have a toolbox of useful techniques and planning. Bring sun protection, water and extra clothes. We will treat you for a traditional “fika” (coffee and bun).
