For those who want to learn more about kayaking

Our beginner's course begins on land where our instructor goes over safety, paddling technique and boarding and disembarking at the jetty and beach. Once we are seated in the kayaks, we start by getting to know the kayak and how we paddle forward, backward and turn. Then we do some technique exercises before paddling at a leisurely pace around Reimersholme and Långholmen. After the paddle trip, you have the opportunity to try to capsize the kayak and learn how to get into the kayak from the water (companion rescue), under the supervision of our instructor. We always adjust the degree of difficulty of the course according to the level of the course participants.
