Adventure Racing Kayak Training

Is kayaking the weakest link in your adventure racing program? It doesn't have to be. Learning proper paddling technique is not difficult.

We promote a forward stroke style that incorporates the laws of physics, coupled with ergonomics to produce an extremely efficient stroke. It’s just what the adventure racer needs.

We use a logical approach, defining lines and angles and using the basic laws of physics in the hope that you will understand the reason why you paddle in this manner. You will learn how to use your larger muscle groups rather than your arms. Your arms, in fact, are only there to support the paddle, not to supply power.

Your instructor, Dave Williams, has been an avid paddler for over 25 years. He has melded the kayak distance racer’s stroke and modified it slightly to generate a stroke that anyone should be able to perform for many hours. You may want to take one of our standard one-day or two-day kayak courses.

We supply tailor-made adventure race training programs
