Equipment and Coaching

WKCC has a long tradition of encouraging and developing it’s coaching and has many well established BC coaches who are always on hand to supervise and assist on all of our sessions.
While we encourage people to eventually purchase their own equipment once they are established, we do have an extensive range of  Kayaks for both river and pool use and Canoes together with all of the appropriate paddles and safety equipment you will need to get you out on the water.

About me

I joined WKCC in 2018 as a non paddler. I now enjoy white water kayaking, with one of my favourite  spots being the Dee in Llangollen. I have done my white water safety and rescue training, and currently working towards my white water leadership qualification. I also enjoy canoeing and overnight paddles.
