It takes a little motivation to get back out onto the Sea in January and February to practice wet skills, but thats exactly what a couple of CPCC Paddlers have been doing. We joined Wight Expeditions and a member of the Putney Club, to work on navigation, rescues and recoveries, beach landings and launches, surf and generally inproving confidence and skills in more challenging conditions.
There was a run around Old Harry where wind speeds touched on F7 even that wasnt enough to stop the wet skills practice.
More opportunities are available for early season Sea Kayak training on the following dates, check out the Club Calendar for details;
March 22 to 23
April 12 to 13
May 10 to 11
Locations and detailed programmes will be agreed prior to each event and are tailored to the weather conditions and requirements of each group.
