Excellence in Canoe and Kayak Coaching

Kim Bull: BCU Level 5 Coach
Welcome - I have been offering expert and knowledgeable canoe and kayak coaching for 20 years, at times and prices individuals can manage.
I realised early on that information about many of the important paddlesport skills wasn’t readily available. So you’ll find a library of articles, demonstrations and videos on technique and skills here as a free resource for you to use.
Of course, canoeing and kayaking are practical activities. Come and join me and learn these extraordinary skills. I offer exceptionally good training, and people come from all backgrounds to benefit, develop and improve their skills. Our time together will be well spent, and the benefits will extend beyond your training course because it will set the background for your future development and excellence.

I am based in the North of England. Locally, we have access to some of the best whitewater rivers in the country, as well as expansive ranges of open water and the beautiful Northumberland coast. With easy access to the Lake District, Scotland and Wales it’s easy to find canoeing to suit all of our needs.
