Paddlesport Courses

Paddlesport courses


Courses are organised by Green Ideas and Rhys Green a qualified teacher who has specialised paddlesport knowledge and expertise.
At 21 Rhys was an aspirant Level 5 Whitewater kayak coach, and a Level 3 canoe coach. Rhys has travelled and paddled all over the world, including; the Zambezi, the White Nile, exploring New Zealand, Malaysia, America and Europe.

Courses are typically regulated through Canoe Wales and British Canoeing as such there is also a set content, with training things will be bespoke to your needs at that time within the syllabus. All of our courses are designed for persons over 18 unless accompanied by an adult. 

We prefer to operate up to 1:4 but can operate up to 1:6. As such each course can be book individually or as a group booking. 

External providers will be found to assist you with your course requirements.
