This is a trial session for those who have never kayaked before. We paddle at a slow pace so that everyone can keep up, regardless of previous experience.
Requirements to participate: You must be able to swim
Safety on the water is the highest priority, and on land, we will instruct how to perform self-rescue and buddy rescue in case of an accident. The leaders are equipped with safety equipment, in case someone capsizes or needs towing assistance.
During the trial session, we will go through the following:
- Overview/adjustment of kayak and equipment
- Instruction on getting in and out of the kayak
- Overview of the basics of kayaking
- Instruction on safety and paddling techniques
- Tips and advice during paddling from the instructor
Jenny Teir serves as an instructor alongside Anki Stenkull-Aura. Jenny is a teacher at Vasa övningsskola and is studying to become a wilderness guide with a specialization in kayaking.
