Padlekurs.no offers paddling courses for beginners in Tromsø, with training that goes beyond the Norwegian Paddling Association's basic course. The course includes elements from the NPF's Technique course, and has a strong focus on safety and security in kayaking. With over 30 years of experience in training, the courses are led by instructors Lone and Johnny, who aim to give participants a positive and fun paddling experience.
Participants can borrow a sea kayak and all necessary equipment, including a dry suit, hood and wet shoes. Safety training, including techniques for saving themselves and others in the event of capsizing, is given high priority. After completing the course, participants receive their own Våttkort (Basic Course Sea). There are several course dates available, and there is also the opportunity to buy and try out paddling equipment on site.
