Kayaking
Proper stuff (albeit for a beginner), not the gentle paddle round the mangroves sort. Any options other than http://www.dskc.hu/portal/ ?
:D |
Re: Kayaking
1. Go to Adventure HQ

:D Have been with them before. They have been in the Entertainer Abu Dhabi the last couple of years, haven't seen the 2013 one yet. |

That seems a bit much, no? Not even a day of rest, just two days where you have a little time off.

Yeah. Looking elsewhere on the site it seems that do starter lessons, but the site hasn't been updated for ages.

It's something that I've been offered to do once or twice but by the same bloke and I'm not confident he has a clue about the currents and stuff out here. Avoided it but someone did the AD mango swamp stuff and said it was brilliant.

I did the mangrove (mango?) one in AD and it was great, but I fancy the sea kayaks but without the fanaticism that seems to go with the serious club. Just been looking round the Noukhada site which seems good...
There must be a club or something that have it somewhere in the middle...will let you know if I hear of anything as a lad in the office goes kayaking. |
Re: Kayaking
Do you really need lessons? Unless you're going to get an actual, enclosed kayak where you will need know how to eskimo roll, I really can't see the point of lessons. A sea kayak (which you sit on, rather than in) is dead simple.

Re: Kayaking
Seriously, unless you're completely inept, it will be a doddle.

Re: Kayaking
Where are you going? Still water or currents? You need training and strength to go where there are currents. (remembers with horror a day on an overflowing river in Calendar where I literally capsized my canoe and swam to shore after 2.5 klicks when my nerves and strength reserves had simply had enough.)

Re: Kayaking
Presumably the Arabian Gulf. In which case your biggest problem is likely to be jet-skiers, for which I presume there is little preventative training*
* Though one fun thing is to string a piano wire between two kayaks and see if you can get a jet-skier to scoot between the two. |
