Training & Qualifications
Sea kayaking in the UK is overseen by the British Canoe Union (BCU), with accredited centres offering nationally and internationally-recognised courses to develop personal skills and train instructors.
Gear
It is best to hire equipment initially to get to grips with the activity and the type of craft that is right for you. A folding kayak or a rigid one which can be broken down provides the most flexibility.
You need a paddle jacket to wear over warm clothing, although you’ll likely be too hot in full wet or dry suits.
