PREREQUISITE  - Competent Introductory Level, Basic Skills level.

After our Introductory Program, many paddlers want to extend their skills and raise the level of challenge or experience while paddling. This 1 Day Advanced program allows you develop and practice the required attitude and skills to be able to negotiate and work through the more critical conditions and situations that arise when planning to paddle more open water. We take 2 persons only on each course and spend time understanding surf and big water environments and teach you how to handle your kayak safely and efficiently. Allocating additional time to trip planning and navigation and the all important contingency options for when things don’t always go to plan.

We will spend most of our instructional sessions in the Mooloolaba Bay region.

We will access the ocean from the Mooloolaba Beach, as this route always guarantees us the opportunity to venture out in most conditions. Programs commence at 8:30am and continue through to approximately 3:30 ~ 4:00pm. 

Lunch  will be provided, accompanied with an assortment of refreshments.

Please notify use of any special dietary requirements.

The Instructors/Guides at the Aussie Sea Kayak Company have led numerous advanced trips in big water all over the world and are well placed to pass on their skills and knowledge to you!!
