Learn how to sea kayak 

Our Introduction to Sea Kayaking Course will take you through everything you need to know to get a float and started on your journey as a sea kayaker.  The OSK Library can be a little overwhelming for someone just starting out in the sport with so much content to choose from.  The Introduction course goes into just enough detail to help you get started in the sport.  When you have completed the introduction course and are happy out on the water you can then choose one of our comprehensive and detailed courses to develop individual skills.

Great videos that really shows all the aspects of different strokes and skills. would recommend it for both novice kayakers as well as experienced paddlers. Lots of useful tips for me as a coach too.

Kevin, UK

This course is brilliant - very well put together with high definition footage and easy to understand descriptions of techniques. I have used much of the course material on the water and in theory and it is faultless. I just keep going over and over and it never gets old. Great job guys - I thoroughly recommend to beginner, intermediate and enthusiasts alike - great stuff😎

Lee, USA

Videos are brilliantly shot, simple to follow. Love the use of multiple angles, really helps to understand the full picture of a movement. Great resource, amazing!
