The Paddle Progression Weekend
Beyond the paddle, Paddle boarding
Service Description
Beyond the Paddle — 2-Day Performance Skills Camp Take your paddling to the next level with two immersive days designed to sharpen technique, build confidence, and expand your real-world skills. This camp goes beyond the basics, giving you the tools to paddle with efficiency, control, and purpose in more challenging conditions. Whether you’re on a SUP, kayak, or open canoe, you’ll work with experienced coaches in small groups to unlock new abilities and leave with a clear personal progression plan. Across the weekend you’ll focus on three key areas: technique, safety, and decision-making. Expect deep-dive coaching on forward power, edging, bracing, and manoeuvres tailored to your craft. You’ll learn how to adapt to wind and chop, maintain trim and balance, and link strokes smoothly to paddle with flow. On the safety side, we’ll refine your self-rescue, practice assisted rescues, and introduce towing methods so you can handle incidents with confidence. You’ll also build group awareness, communication, and leadership in real-world scenarios. Decision-making is woven throughout the camp. From reading the weather and setting ferry angles to planning short journeys, you’ll practise simple navigation skills and route choices. Our coaches will help you understand when to push on, when to adapt, and when to call it — giving you confidence to paddle further, in more places, with the right judgement. Each day balances structured coaching with mini-journeys and scenario practice. You’ll get hands-on feedback, video review sessions, and a personalised action plan to take away. A Skills Passport helps you track progress across technique, safety, and performance benchmarks, while also pointing you towards future opportunities such as touring, open-water, or leadership pathways. This camp is open to paddlers who have already completed an introduction to paddlesport or equivalent experience. You should be able to paddle comfortably for up to two hours, manage a simple self-rescue, and be happy with capsizing or immersion. Loan kit is available on request, though many paddlers prefer to use their own. Venue day passes are arranged directly with the site.
