KAYAKING IN DARTMOUTH
New for 2008 we have two inflatable
kayaks. These suit families especially. They are
very light so mum can carry and launch it on her own, pop a child in
the front seat and go for a paddle. The club has purchased
wetsuits windproofs and buoyancy aids in childs sizes to
complement our existing range so everyone is wearing the proper
clothing from day one and families do not need to buy any equipment at
all to get afloat. The boats are very safe and stable, but be
warned that it does take a little practice before you go in a straight
line at first!
There are two of these boats in the club,
stored fully inflated and ready for use. A family of four can thus get
on the water with a minimum of fuss. What we would do if you
want to join the club and use these boats is to give you a lesson on
the water in how to use them. After that if we are happy with
your ability you can use them on your own. You can decide what
time of the week and what time of day to have a paddle, you are not
restricted to the normal club paddling nights. For more
info please ring Tim Freeman 01803 832663
