Steve ran a Sea Kayak Leader training course based at Roa Island and at St Bees (image) over two days.  Cumbria has some very diverse environments which makes it a great location to undertake Sea Leader training.  We covered equipment, personal paddling, group management, navigation on the water, different coastlines and their specific issues, a range of incidents to manage and more besides.

If you’re interested in becoming a better informed and safe paddler and/or wish to work towards the Sea Kayak Leader award, then this is the course for you.  Many people take the training course purely for their own benefit with no interest in the qualification; this is absolutely fine and Steve encourages all paddlers to attend this training for, at least, their own development, safety and awareness.

Steve runs these courses throughout the year, check the website for forthcoming dates.  If you are interested in attending or just wish to find out more, please call or email Steve for a discussion.  He’ll be pleased to hear from you and happy to help: steve@stevebanksoutdoors.co.uk and 07796 213817
