Calm – Basic Course
Days
0
Nights
SEK
On a basic course, you learn what you need to continue on your own. You will not be an expert paddler, but you get control of the basics. To paddle becomes safer and more fun.
The day is a mix of theory and practice. You will get basic knowledge about kayaks and other equipment. You will learn techniques for entry and exit, we practise forward and backward paddling, stopping and to turn in different ways. You will learn how to use the rudder and skeg and how to plan and implement your kayaking trips in relation to your own experience and expertise.
Moving on
The course content corresponds with BCU 2 Star Sea and EPP yellow level. After your course, and some paddling on your own, you can choose to do an assessment within any of the systems, get proof that you have the skills required for that particular level and then move on to the next step. Please give us a call and we will explain more!

KajakKalaset - what an experience!
Testimonials
Good balance between theory and practice. Again, a reasonably small group, which gave a lot of attention to everyone. In any case, I thought I was much better at the end of the day than when we started. Jocke, you are a really good instructor.
Testimonials
In general, I thought the course was incredibly good. It was rewarding both in terms of knowledge and socially. I have learned many new techniques that I hope I will be able to use during my kayaking trips. You instructors are great fun to work with and you are good at teaching. Are pragmatic to the whole, make us participants feel that we are not so bad after all. I can only recommend others to take a course like this.

Thank you for a great weekend!! All three of us were just as happy as can be, allthough quite sore on Sunday evening :-)

I had a fantastic experience with you during last year's KajakKalas. I was really impressed by your approach, pedagogical thinking and implementation, down to the smallest detail. Especially important for me as a beginner!

Warm, educational, challenging and pleasant in general. The set-up suited me perfectly. Several aha moments. Verbal and visual instructions were easy to understand and absorb, and I thought you were attentive and offered good advice and tips. Thank you for a great course.
