Kayak instruction

Would you like to try your hand at a water sport that offers both community and fun,
training, and nature experiences? Would you like to feel the rush of catching a wave in a
kayak, but at the same time enjoy a calm trip on the Øresund? Then KVIKs kayak
instruction course is for you.

Courses 2026

In 2026, our courses in kayaking (for adults over the age of 18) will be held partly over a
weekend and then on some trips in the afternoon/evening. The goal is to quickly learn to
paddle and then be released to paddle with others. See HERE if you are between 12 and
18 years old, where young people can sign up all year round.

 

In summer 2026 there are two courses for adults:


- Team 1: Start-up weekend on June 13 & 14 at 09.00 - 15.00 + participation in training on
weekday evenings on June 18, June 22, and June 25 (17.30-20), and Saturday June 27 at
13.00-16.00. Register HERE

- Team 2: Start-up weekend on August 15 & 16 at 09.00 - 15.00 + participation in training
on weekday evenings on August 20, August 24, and August 27 at 17.30-20.00. and
Saturday August 29 at 09.00-12.00. Register HERE


Participation in the course requires advance registration with KVIK + a fee of 200 DKK for
the kayak course. Total price for registration and course is 1,330 DKK including 3 months
membership. Read more about our prices HERE.

If you want to start using ergometer or weight training in the club now, you are very
welcome to join the association at any time. Our prices vary depending on age. See the
link for registration HERE for ages 18-14 or HERE for 24+.

Course content:
You will be introduced to the kayak, how to paddle it effectively, how to maneuver it and
how to keep your balance in it.

In addition, we will teach and practice safety, which includes being able to get into the
kayak from the water yourself. It will undoubtedly be fun, wet, “hygge” and maybe a little
challenging, in a good way.

After the course, you will be able to row a stable kayak, maneuver it, know about safety
and save yourself in the event of a capsize.

course, you are welcome to contact the kayak committee by email: kajak@roforeningen.dk
