LSKC is a recreational peer paddling sea kayaking club based on mutual support, help and encouragement. Members organise amongst themselves a variety of activities from short evening paddles to multi day trips. These peer paddles are the basis of club activity. On these peer paddles each paddler has responsibility for their own safety and well being.
To support paddlers in the early stages of the sport who lack the experience and the skills necessary to ensure their own safety on the water; the club organises supported excursions known as Pathway and Grade A paddles and skills sessions where paddlers can gain knowledge and confidence and develop their skills in a safe environment.
More experienced paddlers are encouraged to gain formal qualifications should they choose to do so. The club runs Paddle Scotland approved courses lead by accredited members, and brings in external providers to support paddler development.
The club has equipment which may be hired and is maintained to a high standard.
