-We will also learn and practice simple strokes, how to enter and exit the kayak and how to cope with a capsize or emergency.
-It will be a bite-sized 2 hour intro course and you will get wet!

-The pricing of this course is 300 HKD for the hire of equipment & coach/ leader used in this training session.

Following the completion of this session, you may participate in 'Beginner' rated paddle trips that SK&F may offer. New members with previous paddling experience will be assessed during this session to determine on a case-by-case basis what level paddling trip they will be eligible for.
