Intermediate course, 4 sessions – (green paddle pass kayak)
FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO BUILD IN-DEPTH KNOWLEDGE AND REACH GREEN LEVEL
Do you really want to master your kayak? Our classic intermediate course runs over four weeks, giving you the most important tool for becoming a skilled paddler: Time.
Here you’ll have the chance to practise the technique at your own pace, reflect between sessions, and feel yourself progress week by week. This is the choice for those who want continuity in their training and to build “muscle memory” together with the same instructor and group.
Our kayak courses towards the Green Paddle Pass are for those who want to take the next step towards becoming an independent paddler. Maybe you want to head out and enjoy slightly longer trips in the mid-archipelago, or you simply want to improve your technique to feel safer on the water. This course is for those who have moved beyond the beginner stage. You should have taken a beginner course or equivalent and practised a few times before joining our intermediate course.
The course is divided into 4 sessions of 3 hours each, giving you plenty of time to practice between the sessions to best develop your paddling.
The course also includes one month of Level 3 membership with us, giving you free access to paddle as much as you like during our opening hours between course sessions. Read more about our memberships here.
Course objectives
After completing the course, you will have enough knowledge to make your own tours in the archipelago.
