How the class is focused
Not everything can be covered in one 3–4 hour session. We concentrate on the skills most central to your safety and the conditions you need to paddle in.
For paddlers who want to become proficient beyond easiest conditions, Aavameri recommends the two-day basic course and intermediate course.
Aavameri does not only take you kayaking. Aavameri helps you understand the sea.
