International Training Weekend

 The Sea Kayak Symposium ITW coincided with Lunar Eclipse


BCU 5 Star Training with Nigel Dennis



  Our 13th International Sea Kayak Symposium took place in hot sunshine, clear skies, and warm water (its still 14 degrees). The highlight of the sea kayak festival is the International Training Weekend, make use of the spring tides for moving water training.
