NORTHSEAKAYAK - Sea Kayak Training Camp Lumbarda, Croatia Edition 2019

With the success of the SKTC of last year it became clear that there certainly would be another chapter in this story. We were asked again to coach this training camp a second time. Of course, we joined in, to share our passion and knowledge with other sea kayak enthusiasts. The advantage of this SKTC is that everyone can join and that we can start with basic things in a calm and beautiful environment with low risks. That way it’s possible to give a very personal approach what was very much appreciated by the participants. Safety and making fun are key in the program, if there is no smile on your face, then there must be something wrong. The camp takes places over five days with both theoretic lessons and a lot of practice on the water. We start with basic things and then move over to combined exercises and even worst-case scenarios where the participants must solve the problem. Working as a team is equally important, the first day we immediately said that we don’t want a group, but a team! I want to thank the team members for their positive spirit during the camp, my assistant Winoc to be at my side during coaching and Boris & Ivka from spiritofkorkyra.com/ for again a perfect organisation. Let us not forget NSK team member Sylvie! Without her it would not been possible to make this video, she spends hours on the beach to take a lot of footage…. Maybe we will see you next year? Paddle safe and take care of each other!

@@Northseakayak thanks Dimitri, I had a good look already as I've seen your FB post on p&h but can't commit just yet as my plans and work got affected by pandemic, hopefully in the next few months thing will fall in place 🤞 I've came across your yt channel when I was researching about Valkyrie and I'm slowly getting through all of the content 👌👏👏👍😊 and I managed to buy the valkyrie recently 💪 been paddling recreationally for the last 10-12 years in my Point65 Picnic but decided to learn more and hopefully get a good level of confidence .

Hey Dimitri, I like your kayak video's. Great music too! What's the name of the guitar-riff in the last part of your video? (timeframe 7:40 untill the end) It stay's in my head and I really want to know the name of the artist. And thanks a lot for the good video's

[@Northseakayak]

Hi Carl, Thank you for your kind words. The music is from my video making program: The Mind Sweepers - Rancid Life - Laid Back. Hope this helps? All the best! 👌💦😊
