CIWW Youth Academy

Got a youngster keen on hitting the rapids? This fast paced course is focused on one thing, progressing kayaking skills quickly. Starting with building strong foundations on flat water, your young shredder will quickly progress onto the white water where they will gain vast knowledge and skills from our experienced and passionate coaches. This course is the best step to take if your youngster would like to get involved with our Kids Academy programme. 

This course is aimed at young people with little or no experience in kayaks. The focus will be to build the fundamental skills needed to paddle white water. Throughout the  week we will help young paddlers develop the skills and confidence to push themselves to be able to control their boats with style down white water. We aim to provide paddlers with a solid foundation of core skills set for their padding career.

The ‘Kids Academy’ was founded in 2011, to help upskill and encourage future whitewater kayakers. We couldn’t have put it better than our title sponsor Palm Equipment “The Cardiff Kids’ Academy aims to inspire and push on the new generation of paddlers, offering… the chance to go from complete beginner to whitewater hero”.
