Learning on kayak courses
The goal of learning on an IPP2 course is to give you knowledge within IPP2 kayak weather conditions. On the kayak course there will be a trained outdoor expert who will meet you at your level. An IPP2 course should give you the opportunities and inspire you for further sea kayaking experiences, such as: Day trips, long trips, exercise rowing, or coffee-cake rowing.
Experiences
An IPP2 kayak course can pave the way for you on the water with unique experiences. Our main task on an IPP2 course is to provide the skills so that you can experience one yourself. We give you the skills with an IPP2 kayak course so that you can go on trips that can give you experiences you will never forget.
Fun
Learning and laughter on an IPP2 course go hand in hand. Although we take the role of outdoor expert seriously, we are informal in teaching an IPP2 course. We meet you at eye level, because after all, we only have the fun we make ourselves.
Thanks for a good intro to kayak life. It was a great experience and a nice atmosphere. We'll see each other again
