UPDATED2 Surf kayak and sea kayak in surf development

edited September 2025 in Other Providers
UPDATE 2
We've lost 6th Nov, but 5th is still available. Let's go for it. Apart from anything else, if it gets cancelled due to extreme weather there will be more time to rearrange it.

UPDATE 1
Ok, so 5 Nov would be possible for Simon, but 6th November would be better as he's away until late on 4th.

Christina says she can do 6th. Most of you said you could do week days with enough notice. Does this work?

To fix a date we need commitment. As long as four confirm, it won't be more than £95 each. I'm ambivalent as I've already booked a December day (colder!) but could probably be persuaded. Or I could also ask in Bideford club.

Please comment, or message me.

ORIGINAL Simon Hammond is running some more surf kayak development days, 27 and 28 November. £85pp/day. I'll be going to both.

29th/30th he's organising more ad hoc surf kayak sessions based around competition techniques. This is not my thing!!

On 1 and 2 Dec he is running women only SEA kayak surf skills days. I'm going on Monday 1st.

More details for all of the above:

ADDITIONALLY/ALTERNATIVELY If we can get 4 or 5 people together we could arrange a sea kayaks in surf day for the club - any gender. Doesn't have to be a similar date (but before the water really chills can be good). Comment here if that would interest you. I imagine the cost would be similar (not more, anyway). If people are interested I'll follow it up and coordinate.

  • Hi Maggie,

    Thanks for sharing. Id be up for a sneak kayak in surf day

    Dave
  • šŸ‘šŸ½ would it need to be a weekend for you, Dave?
  • I don't usually work wednesdays and can do other weekdays with enough notice
  • Hi Maggie, I’d also be interested in a sea kayak surf day if we can get a group together. I’d also like to try and get some days surfing in a short boat for practice if anyone else is interested.

  • šŸ‘šŸ½ Jane and I were talking about short boats yesterday, IE whether a session could be a club trip or peer. We'll try to sort something out.
  • I've just posted a peer trip to surf in short boats and might be interested in a lesson on sea kayaks in surf on a weekend day or Wed 5th Nov.

  • My preference would be for a bespoke club sea kayak surf session as this would be more relevant for me - I can do most week days too. But if that's not possible then I may well book with Simon.

  • Ok. I'll start taking this up with Simon, starting with asking about wed 5 Nov.
  • Updated, see above
  • I would like to join you - I will book 5th and 6th as leave.

  • @Maggie_Watson sadly that week around the 5-9th Nov is out for me as I'm away climbing in Wales. So, please do go ahead and book without me. I'll sort something else out. Cheers

  • Just to reassure you all, Simon has rearranged his commitments on the 4th, so will be ready to give us his full attention.

    I'm going to invite you to a WhatsApp group for the day, since I have your numbers.

    If anyone else wants to join they should contact me. I'm going to approach a couple of others directly, including from Bideford CC so we can be sure of the minimum number.

    £50 deposit now, and I'll be asking you to contact Simon to let him know you've paid, and to give him a few words about your relevant experience and ambitions for the day.
  • I am late to the party but interested please.

  • I think you'd like this, Laura! Not too late. I'll message you.
  • Hi Maggie I mailed Simon but he has not sent details of where to send the deposit. Can you help with that?
  • I can't make the 5th, but if there are plans to have one on a weekend I'd be keen.
  • Hi Laura, payment info is in the group description of the WhatsApp chat I added you to. Msg me if you can't find that.
    Theresa, hope to see you soon!
  • All sorted thanks.
