Kayaking Essentials (Intro Course) at Cheung Chau

This course is a pre-requisite for all other trips we are holding on this group. Please ensure you have taken a Kayak Essentials course before booking onto our other day trips.

What to expect

Kayak Essentials is an introductory session for people who are complete beginners or fairly new to kayaking.

-We will begin with learning the essential knowledge about our boat and equipment.
-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.

Please pay us by FPS or Payme (to us at info@ateamedventures.com ) or deposit your payment, to our HSBC ac 652-093394001.
Please use booking reference:
“KMU+ your name+activity date I.e. “KMU Andy 23-6-26” and share a screenshot of the transaction for our records.
If you are paying for several people, please name each of them so we know who you are covering!

-Please also bring the following - -

• Sturdy closed-toed shoes - That can get wet that will be worn at all times throughout the training session (Crocs DO NOT qualify. Old sneakers/trainers are OK. NO flip flops).

• A packed lunch - A refillable water bottle (there is clean, drinkable tap water at the kayak base). We strongly discourage the use of packaged water in disposable bottles (I.e. Bonaqua, Evian, etc)

-Swimwear- swimsuit, hat, sunglasses and sun protection (long sleeve rash guard or UV resistant shirt highly recommended).

• Optional: change of clothes & towel for post-session shower. Following training and practice sessions of all of the above, a short paddle trip MAY be possible to apply all that has been learned. 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.

-Please do not sign up unless you commit to being there. We cannot run the training session when people drop out with short notice. Our 48 hour rule does apply.

-If weather conditions do not allow the course to run or continue we withhold the right to cancel in the interest of everyone’s safety.

Thanks and we look forward to getting out on the water with you soon!
