Youth Scholarship Training- Surfing in Sea Kayaks

Lovely swells being blown in from the north created perfect conditions on peel main beach to relieve the A-Level revision stress!





 And once the surfing was done... the obvious aftermath followed


 Good effort again guys, and hope the revision goes... "swimmingly" 
(Sorry about the pun)

More Relaxed sea kayaking during the week, hiding from the wind with two university reunions






And with the jellyfish returning, it looks like summer is getting close...

Youth Scholarship Training

The guys wanted to go Coasteering on their training this week... with a twist.  
 They had to manage themselves over the difficult landscape as a team, supervised by Sam 

 Through large gaps normally covered by water

 Carrying all their equipment with them in waterproof dry bags

 So they could have a shower 

 And practice their camping skills by cooking a meal after the trip. 
Good effort again guys, lets see what next week brings!

Recent Adventures

Coasteering in the sun!
while making use of the local rock formations

 John Keggin ran a very successful 2 star training open boating course over 2 weekends

 "The guys did very well working on 2 star skills in open boats and manoevering in the wind in Ramsey harbour before heading up the sheltered water on the Sulby river" John Keggin

 The Youth Scholarship's spent their evening planing their next bundle of training sessions, and Duke of Edinburgh related tasks.
 Always looking forwards at Adventurous Experiences
