Sunday. Durban Beach front/
- February 9th, 2010
Every Sunday training will take place the entire day at the beach front, depending on the skill levels of learners, sites will vary from Vetch’s Pier going further north to North Beach as skills develop and bigger waves can be handled.
Can I just arrive and can one arrive just for the afternoon? I have a paddleski/waveski.
What is the cost involved?
@Claudine Hi Claudine, great to hear from you.
Kayak Freestyle Training operates from Hillcrest, Kloof, Pinetown, Westville, Glenwood, and all the way down to Durban North.
the main aim is to get people aware, involved and into Kayaking.
Kayaking is so diverse, and what we have here in Durban is a secret Gem, warm ocean currents, good waves, and not too far away a massive expanse of rivers from the immense drainage basin of the Drakensberg. Kayakers world wide would love to have what we have geographically.
Basically, Kayak Freestyle Training specializes in Kayak Freestyle training in the Durban coastline and surrounds.
During the week, Evening pool practices take place in 5 different locations of the 5 working days of the week, allowing most areas to be covered.
Pool practices involve basic paddle strokes, eventually leading onto technical strokes, as well as practicing the essential ‘Eskimo Roll.’ Additionally we practice technical disciplines of freestyle kayaking, Cart wheeling, Bow stalling, Stern Squirts, Loops etc etc.
Later on we introduce Rope work into the course, where learners are able to learn rescue techniques, knots, and complex sequences.
Another addition to Kayak Freestyle Training will be to introduce Photography and film work as another feature in Creativity and Enjoyment of the sport.
Every Sunday all learners will be at the beach or selected location to practice out what they have learnt during the week, essentially practicing on the waves.
At times we will venture off to river locations in the Drakensburg.
R390.00 is for 1 months training, which includes 8 practice sessions for the month only. Activities such as Ropework and film work will be introduced once you are proficient enough in Kayaking.
All equipment is provided, kayaks, helmets, PFD’s, Paddles, Nose plugs, Spray decks..
Its a great opportunity.
Hope this covers it in a nutshell.
