Esimo roll and rescue techniques

Why should you learn the Eskimo roll in a sea kayak? There are different interests. My interest for the kayak roll is similar to the rest of my kayaking. I will be able to enjoy the kayaking a lot more if I feel I can handle the situation. The eskimo roll is thus something I see as a solution when the initial handling of the situation was not good enough to keep me on the surface, and when I need a better way to get up than just getting out of the kayak in the water (doing the wet exit). It is a vital rescue technique that every kayaker should master before starting paddling.

BCU courses

Enjoy Crete offer a wide range of BCU certifications in Heraklion, Crete during the whole year including winter months. Set up in 1936 to send a team to the Berlin Olympics, the British Canoe Union (BCU) is the lead body for canoeing and kayaking in the UK. Since then the organisation has grown considerably, and the range of canoeing opportunity has increased tremendously.

Sea kayaking private sessions

There’s no better way to quickly improve your paddling skills than a private kayak lesson with BCU certified kayak instructors. Come with a list of skills you want to work on, or just come with the goal of improving your skills and confidence on the water. Of course the greatest advantages of private lessons are the close attention and prolonged attention of the instructors, personalized lessons and the opportunity to learn at your own pace. When it comes to improving your paddling, these lessons can’t be beat.
