I just finished a few days of moderate water training with Ian. What a great experience! Ian is a natural born teacher; patient, calm, constructive and able to nudge you out of your comfort zone in a way that feels controlled. He had me paddling in a tidal race on the first day, which is something I never thought I’d have the confidence to do. I feel I have gained so much confidence and skill from my time out along the beautiful Pembrokeshire coast, and also really enjoyed Ian’s extensive knowledge of the local wildlife and geology. I’m already planning to return for more!

2 days with Ian on an intermediate sea kayaking course. Throughout the 2 days Ian was flexible,supportive and completely client focused. A great 2 days with loads learnt and techniques improved. Plenty of laughs along the way. Thanks. Martin

Had a brilliant couple of days on a BC Sea Kayak Award Course with a mate. Very informative, excellent local knowledge, totally flexible with the itinerary, relaxed and helpful. Hadn't met any of the team prior to booking, but through a series of messages I was happy that they could cater for our objectives. Excellent communication throughout, simple to pay and even got a free camp spot into the bargain! We learnt way more than we could have expected, from planning with charts, maps and apps through to reading the water and picking routes through the rocks. Got some surfing into the bargain and some tide race action too! Maneuvering was practiced through some caves and rocks with some nice pour over features. Did some rough water rescue and a some risk assessment. SKA couldn't have been more accommodating throughout. The excellent photos taken by Ian were a really nice additional touch.....not many people take a DSLR out on the water! Thanks for a brilliant couple of days. We will be back for sure! Darren.

Earlier review was for a previous session, but just been for a two day improvers course with Amy and Ian, as always totally professional but very relaxed and enjoyable. Considering the time of year we had great weather with plenty of sunshine, adding to a great experience. 👍

I did an Advance sea kayak leader course with Ian and it was everything I was looking for. Ian is inspirational coach and did a great job with getting the best out off the conditions and tried to give every member off the group what they were looking for. I learned a lot and this was for sure not my last paddle with Ian.

Advanced Sea Kayak Leader training with Ian Jennings from Sea Kayak Academy; Had a fantastic 4 days training on the beautiful Pembrokeshire Coast. Along with his expert knowledge and wealth of experience, Ian's approach and coaching style in leadership was exceptional! I can highly recommend Sea Kayak Academy for any level of paddler. Truly inspirational!

Pembrokeshire is a hidden gem for sea kayakers; tidal races, rockhopping and scenery that can only be experienced, not described. Ian Jennings found exactly the conditions we were looking for and guided us safely through to its best bits, all done with his easy going manner. We'll definitely be back.

I had an amazing coaching session with Ian and faced some demons and came away feeling that I had progressed and was ready for more 🙂

I was very lucky to have one to one instruction with Amy, it was a fantastic session, very concise but relaxed all at the same time ❤️ I’ve learnt loads and am hoping to come back for more. I’d recommend Sea Kayak Academy to all

I learnt to sea kayak some years ago with Ian who taught me to be an independent paddler. I still go back and book trips and training with Ian, he has amazing local knowledge and is a great coach so you always have an enjoyable day on the water.
