KAYAKING IN DARTMOUTH   

More advanced skills:

The key to many of the advanced skills is the eskimo rescue, once learned you can try rolling or other stuff that might result in a capsize. If it goes wrong and your buddy can be on hand for the rescue.

eskimo rescue  - Tims tip is to wait until the water has warmed up a bit before learning this one. The sea is coldish in May & June, much better in August & September!   And if this one is not for you that is fine,  its not compulsory, just cover the intermediate skills.
