You've got the right course if you're looking for fun, learning and quality coaching in a dynamic rough water environment. If it's a windy day, we have the option of beach surfing or maybe a downwind paddle or playing and developing skills in the Swellies (on The Menai Straits). If it's calm, we head for one of the many tide races and overfalls Anglesey has to offer.

With a ratio of 4:1, you will get more support and guidance towards achieving your goals.

If your new to dynamic water then consider our Intermediate sea kayaking course which offers a gradual and progressive introduction to tidal currents, wind, swell and surf.

Our Surf and Tide Race Skills courses are at two levels and are for:

Experienced Intermediate to moderate water paddlers and moderate water to advanced paddlers.
those who have experienced paddling in a Beaufort force 4 winds (13-17mph), moving water of around 2 knots, able to do eddy turns, manage swell of 0.5-1mt and breaking waves.
paddlers wishing to develop confidence, understanding and sea kayak skills in dynamic water.
those paddlers looking for fun!

We'll introduce various skills and tactics to support your progression, enabling you to develop greater independence in dynamic and rough water handling. This will be through sharing planning opportunities, decision making, and considering risk and benefit in dynamic rough water environments.

Your ability to roll is not required for this course.

Experience the thrill of catching a wave, refining those skills, developing greater control, stretching your comfort zone, increasing your confidence, and having fun at the same time.

Early Spring and late Autumn tends to be more suitable for Moderate water and Advanced paddlers, due to more commonly, windy conditions. While late Spring into the Summer and early Autumn is more suitable for Moderate to Advanced paddlers.

Feedback from our Anglesey week provided by Roger and a

Women's specific weekend provided by Zoe -

Fun - pleasure, boisterous joviality, merrymaking

Thank you for all the FUN !
Fun - not a word heard very much in the last 12 months (2020)
Fun is defined by the Oxford English Dictionary as "Light-hearted pleasure, enjoyment, or amusement; boisterous joviality or merrymaking; entertainment". Although particularly associated with recreation and play, it may be encountered during working time.
I think that sums up why I enjoy Coastal Spirit courses

Thank you - David

Ladies Surf and Tide Race Weekend

Zoe Robinson was a brilliant coach from start to finish. We had fun, challenge, thrills, spills, and time outs all at our individual paces. The group was so supportive of each other as we learned. Did I mention the fun?

Thank you Zoe and Roger at Coastal Spirit - Susan.

Stella King

"There are a number of wonderful things about Roger. He has a very light touch in his coaching, and he's always smiling and encouraging you to relax into the enjoyment of the day"

Tavi Murray

"And I'm probably learning more from his mentoring now, as my paddling horizons expand, than ever before. I can't count how many questions I've asked... and he's answered. Roger has the knack of making that suggestion that radically changes your thinking and moves your paddling on in leaps and bounds."

Simon Turnbull

"I've just completed a two day 4* Sea kayak training course with Roger. Having been coached by Roger in the past, I choose to do this course with Roger because I knew I would get a great deal from the course. My expectations were certainly well and truly met"
