Kayaking rolling clinic

On the kayaking clinic day we will be paddling to several coves and beaches on island Molat. The objective is to do several rolling sessions in clear, safe and shallow waters. To make sure the practice sits nicely and that you have an enjoyable time, we'll break up the rolling sessions with short touring intermezzos. Paddling distance is around 8k for the whole day.

3-4 hours

Every day as a part of a longer kayaking trip. Contact us to make your kayaking trip plan.

Rolling course is appropriate only for intermediate kayakers that paddle regularly. Ideally people with Level 3 Europass skills, minimum of Level 2 skills. If you don't have Level 2 skills, you can take our essential kayaking course.

Rolling course day is a guided kayaking trip where we move around the Molat archipelago, stopping at differnet spots to practice elements of the roll. Evaluation, tutoring and course is integrated in a paddling trip.

The course takes place in a very relaxed and down to earth environment, but the rolling course formally consists of three modules:

1. 1) Skills evaluation: here we look at paddlers ability to perform different strokes that lead up to the actual roll and brush up on the particular paddle and body movement.
2. 2) Practice on dry land: on this stage we go through the motion of a sweep roll, explaining the physics behind it and the impact.
3. 3) Being under water: at this stage we practice some excercises to getting comfortable under water in capsized position. It is actually a rather fun experience.
4. 4) Assisted and Independent roll: The final stage is practicing the actual roll.

Rolling clinic makes most sense when combined with a kayaking trip. We don’t recommend booking this course.
