SEK
Our intermediate course Ripple is for you who have past the beginner stage and want to develop your paddling further. With a better control of your kayak paddling becomes both safer and more enjoyable. You avoid picking up bad habits that will make you tired or give you injuries and you will become capable to tackle longer distances and more difficult conditions.
On this course we go deeper into basic technical skills like forward and backwards paddling, stopping and different ways of turning and steering the kayak. We practice keeping balance with the help of bracing and we explain, feel and practice the difference between paddling with rudder or skeg. Additionally, you will get wet when we finish the day by practising various rescue techniques.
Moving on
The course content corresponds with EPP green level. After your course, and some paddling on your own, you can choose to do an assessment, 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!

Testimonials
Thank you for a very good course and nice company on Friday. Very professional! Sunday's paddling was without a rudder and with a lot of new knowledge. Thank you for that!
Testimonials
I've kayaked a lot, mostly lakes, but never taken a course, so now I felt it was time. Very serious recetion but at the same time relaxed. I'm completely happy with my two hours, I'm going to work on some things and then take another lesson.
Testimonials
Hello and thank you for KajakKalaset. It was a fantastic event after many days of work in closed hospital rooms :) What a freedom to be on the water instead.
Testimonials
Thank you for a great kayaking weekend. It was really good. I had fun and learned a lot. Got a kayak buddy too. We're going to paddle together. It was fun with nice people you got to meet.
Testimonials
With a little distance to KajakKalaset, I can only summarize it with, God, what fun and educational it was! My first time and probably not the last if it doesn't clash with any family vacation. Sure, I was both broken and tired, but it fades away and now I don't feel anything. I was a bit skeptical about the dinner because mussels are not a favorite but damn, it was good. The way it was cooked and the slightly distinct chili flavor made it a true gourmet dish. The event is well laid out with the different levels of the groups. You feel that in the group we were quite similar in both experience and knowledge and can then move on to a higher level. It's good to have a little theoretical review before the different sessions and then make it practical and then have a review at the end of what new skills we have acquired. I think you create a really good and relaxed atmosphere where all the participants, I think, feel both seen and involved. Even as instructors, you do a good and professional job, pedagogical and educational. Then I have to send an extra thank you to the person who made the buns for the final coffee. Delicious. It's been a long time since I ate buns with cardamom. My mother used to make them but has stopped a long time ago, felt a bit like a trip back to childhood. You deserve a big thank you, and if nothing unexpected happens, I'll come back next year.
Testimonials
Thank you for a great safety course, it really feels like I learned something. I think the set-up was great, that there was a dialogue at the theoretical part and also out on the water. It became a nice team spirit from this and it's something I'll take with me when I'm in the kayak next time with my friends. One of the best courses I've taken.
