Kayaking Technique - Power and Efficiency

Don’t let those precious training hours go to waste. If you want to improve your efficiency and power then a flat water technique session with our coach Sam Manson is just what you need. Sam will help ensure you are engaging all the right muscles at the right time to get that boat gliding through the water. Make sure the effort you put in to each forward stroke is as a powerful and effective as possible. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to make your paddling easier, less-injury prone, more enjoyable, and above all faster. Develop good habits early and get rid of any bad ones!

These sessions are free to book, payment is charged later via invoice from Sam.
