Setting the standard in Sea Kayaking Professionals - SKGABC

Throughout this program you will learn proficient paddling techniques using strokes, rescue systems, group management, risk assessment, leadership & communication. Other skills we will cover are navigation techniques, weather, tides currents and decision making based on observations, information and interpreting the conditions.

The ocean and surrounding environment that we live in is a powerful place and deserves respect. We must observe, listen, interpret and make safe, responsible decisions so that we can give people positive experiences.

The Level 1 guide course is a powerful introduction to the professional guiding industry and awesome training to support you and your community. Successful candidates are eligible to take the SKGABC AOG Upgrade Course to assist on multi day Kayak adventures in class 1, 2 and 3 waters!
