Kayak Training - Ognyanovo Reservoir

Training in a SINGLE kayak for beginners.
No experience in a kayak at all, but you want to throw yourself into summer adventures at sea, or into relaxing kayak outings on Bulgaria's reservoirs? This course is exactly for you.

Our organisation is the leader in kayak training and guarantees you quality teaching and real enjoyment of the experience. You will be working with coaches of proven, long-standing experience.

Come to learn and to have fun!

What we will cover on this INTRO course:

• Types of kayak and what distinguishes them
• Types of paddle
• Safety rules for paddling a kayak
• Preparing the kayak for paddling
• A safety briefing for the group from the guide

Personal paddling skills you will practise:

• Lifting, carrying and launching the kayak
• Getting in and out from the shore
• Forward paddling
• Reverse paddling and stopping
• Holding a course
• Changing direction

Once you have mastered these basic movements and elements of technique, we will paddle out onto the reservoir, which will let us practise communication within a group - how paddlers are arranged in a group, or group travel, and following the leader.

We have allowed time for lunch as well. After that we will play a few enjoyable games, which will bring the training to a close in the early afternoon.

Information on how to prepare and what you need will be sent to you after booking.
