This two-day coastal paddling clinic is designed for xperienced paddlers comfortable in Paddle UK Moderate Water or ACA Level 3 conditions who want to deepen their mental and physical skills for handling potential incidents in moderate-to-advanced water environments.
Over two engaging and purposeful days, we’ll explore how to move, play, and travel safely as a team in dynamic coastal conditions. Through realistic scenarios and shared reflection, we’ll unpack the judgment, decision-making, and communication tools that help paddlers anticipate, avoid, and manage incidents when things get busy.
While grounded in core leadership principles, the clinic focuses on leadership through prevention, mitigation, and effective response—and on how we work together to balance safety and fun. The course uses a learner-centered approach shaped around your goals and experience, ensuring every participant leaves more capable, confident, and connected to the sea.
