Beginners Sea Kayaking on Anglesey

Beginning sea kayaking for members of Upton Warren Canoe and Kayak Club on Anglesey, North Wales.

For a Midlands based paddle club, miles from the sea, we have a large number of paddlers who love exploring the coastline in sea kayaks.
This weekend was to focus on developing skills towards the Sea Kayak Award:
Launching and landing
Efficient forward paddling
Safety and rescues
Equipment and use of towlines

Thanks to Summit to Sea for the use of the P&H Leo.
