Coastal Sea Kayaking 29-31st Aug

What to expect

Join us for two (Sat/Sun) or three (Fri/Sat/Sun) days of unforgettable paddling and wildlife experiences along the stunning Pembrokeshire coastline! Each day is a self-contained trip, returning to your accommodation afterwards. We will choose a location and route to match the weather, tides, and the skills of the group, typically on the west or south coast of Pembrokeshire. This experience is all about exploring the coastline and playing in features along the way – caves, rock formations, secluded beaches, surf and swell. This trip is ideal for paddlers with some sea kayaking or whitewater experience, but is not suitable for complete beginners. We will provide some coaching at the start of each day, and tips along the way, to help you make the most of the conditions and features we experience. At the upper end, we might paddle in wind of 18mph, swell or surf height around 1m, and currents of 2 knots (i.e. ‘moderate’ water). We will not be paddling in tide races or overfalls. To join the trip you should have the following paddling experience (if you are not sure, or borderline, please contact us to discuss): - At least 2 days sea kayaking or white water kayaking (grade 2) in the past 12 months (in a kayak with a spraydeck) - Wind above Beaufort 3 (so, 13 mph+) - Swell of 0.5 metre - Current faster than 0.5 knot - Completed at least two capsizes and wet exits (you do not need to be able to self-rescue or roll) Sea kayak, paddle, BA, helmet, spray deck and a drybag are included. You must provide your own drysuit/wetsuit/waterproof layers and clothing, snacks, packed lunch and hot drink. We will let you know the meeting location at least 24 hours before hand, and there will be a WhatsApp group for communication and sharing photos.
