Out and About Adventures employs qualified and highly experienced instructors.

We understand that not everyone wants to work towards a qualification; numerous paddlers have benefitted from individual or small group sessions to develop specific skills to enhance their paddling experience.

Expedition planning, developing of an efficient and safe rolling technique, coastal navigation and landing/launching in surf conditions are examples where customers have developed both confidence and technical skills to improve their performance.
