Intermediate Course, Full Day –
(Green Paddle Pass Kayak)
THE KAYAK COURSE FOR YOU WHO WANT TO TAKE THE STEP UP TO THE GREEN Paddle Pass IN ONE DAY
This course is for you if you’ve got the basics down and want to take the next step in your paddling, but find it hard to commit to several evenings in a row. During an efficient and educational full day, we head from Pampas Marina on a longer trip out on Stockholm’s waters to practise technique, safety and navigation in real conditions.
Instead of staying by the dock and drilling, we learn “on the go”. We use the city’s varied environments—from sheltered canals to open bays—to give you the tools you need to become a confident and independent paddler.
Course outline We start at 9:00 AM and are back around 4:00 PM. The day alternates paddling with instructor-led technique sessions. We stop at a suitable spot and eat a packed lunch.
Course objectives
After completing the course, you will have enough knowledge to make your own tours in the archipelago.
