Come on a coastal adventure with us exploring the rocky coastline and secluded beaches which can only be seen from the water. This one of a kind St Andrews experience is unique to Blown Away so come and paddle with us on our  'Sit on top' Kayaks built for 2 people, our boats are a fun way to explore the coast or surf the waves at the beach. It's easy to master and great fun for all ages. All of our session are run by highly experienced, qualified SCA coaches so you can rest assured you are in safe hands.

At Blown Away, we deliver fun, professional and informative lessons covering all of the basics and safety aspects  required to paddle on an adventure around the coast of St Andrews. We run open sessions so all ages can enjoy the experience together as a family. This is also a must for any wildlife fanatics as you will get a closer look at an array of sea birds and keep an eye out for our inquisitive seal friends who sometimes like to join us on our excursions. 

What you will learn

If you are getting in a Kayak for the first time, we'll make sure you wont be up the creek without a paddle and guide you in learning how to steer, turn and work as a pair to manoeuvre your kayak. If you have kayaked before, then we will use this session to build on more advanced techniques, including paddling, turning and reading the ocean.

Itinerary

1. Meet us at the Blown Away Shack on the West Sands, St Andrews. We are the third wooden building on your right as you drive down the beach road.

2. Arrive 10 minutes before your session and we will get you checked in and size you up in a toasty wetsuit so whatever the weather, you are guaranteed to be snug and warm.

3. We'll head down to the beach and teach you the basics on dry land so you are comfortable with the technique for the activity of the day. 

4. We'll then head into the water with our experienced and very friendly coaches, usually only waist depth, to put into practice what we have learnt on dry land.

5. We will be in the water for just over an hour so visit the bathroom before suiting up, public toilets are available across the road from the shack.
