Kayak leader training in the archipelago! | Friluftsfrämjandet - introkurs för kajakledare [1/3]

Описание: On September 16th-17th, I and my friend John participated in an introductory course for leaders (Swedish: Introkurs för blivande #kajakledare) with #Friluftsfrämjandet, the Swedish Outdoor Association, an NGO founded in 1892 with 100,000+ members in Sweden.

The course took place in the Öregrund archipelago, northeast of Uppsala, Sweden, with 2 instructors and 7 participants, and included leadership, navigation, group management, safety, technique, particular skill updates on towing and peer rescue, and more. We camped on an island between Saturday and Sunday. Conditions varied from calm to quite windy weather, with heavy rain falling during the night.

This is part 1 of several videos from the course - others will include more notes on learning points and takeway from this weekend!

Thanks to the instructors, fellow participants, and to my friend John for letting me borrow his Prijon Touryak 500 sea kayak for this occasion.
