We are currently ramping up to start our autumn/winter short course programme in the UK. With a patchy old time again, much like autumn last year. More recently however the rains have come and we have had come great levels for a wide range of courses in Devon. 

Rowan James started the season off in Devon, and has now gone to Chile, Deb Pinniger comes in soon for a month, and then Simon Westgarth returns just before New Years. Jakub Sedivy is about to start yet another alpine ski season in St Anton, lucky him.

The Gene17 Adventure Paddlers Weekend, is coming to its 17th Edition, with next generation graduate and all around kayaking superstar Barnaby Peers being the headline act.

OUR GREAT GROUP OFFER FOR ALL UK COURSES STILL AVAILABLE

Our closed course rate, of £250 a day for a Gene17kayaking coach for up to 4 white water paddlers is great value for money, as well as great coaching too. Contact Us for further information and booking.

 

We always run a full programme of white water courses for individuals too, and through the autumn into winter for 2017/18. Paddlers can of course book on individually, via our Course Webpage.  

 

The uptake this autumn/winter has been strong, especially for technique courses.  For us this means paddlers are starting again to focus on their paddling performance, as well as a strong desire to work through BC qualifications. We have lots of availability for intermediates & aspiring white water kayakers on our Fundamental Core Skills, Progressive & LaunchPad courses.
