Sea Kayak & Paddleboard Coaching
From £45pp
Paddlesport coaching for Sea Kayak or Standup Paddle board : catering for novices to budding racers.
​
What is coaching?
Coaching is slightly different to Instructing. With the later, you are very much hand holding a new paddler and only directing them what they should do at a basic level. Within coaching, we get more in depth in to the mechanics of paddling, and involve the paddler in the decision process at every stage. It also has the paddler discover solutions, rather than them simply being presenting to them, and this aids retaining that skill in the memory. ​

​
Safety Education: Ensuring participants understand and practice safe practices on the water, including equipment use, emergency procedures, and risk management.
​
Performance Enhancement: For those seeking to improve, coaching can involve developing specific skills for different disciplines, stand up paddleboarding, sea kayaking, or focusing on fitness and strategy for competition.
​
Enjoyment and Exploration: Coaching also emphasizes creating a positive and enjoyable experience, encouraging participants to explore the environment, learn new skills, and build confidence.
​
Diverse Environments: Paddlesport coaching can take place in various settings, from calm, sheltered waters to more challenging environments like the open ocean, depending on the specific coaching and the participants' skill levels.

Why should you get coaching with Breakwater Coaching?
By undertaking coaching you have an experienced coach analyse not only what you want to achieve from your paddling, but how you go about improving on your current position. Your coach will involve you fully to think laterally about how you can achieve your goals, and together you will decide practice structures and strategies that target your weak spots.
