Anglesey Greenland Rolling & Tide

We are so excited to present the Anglesey Greenland Rolling & Tide Festival bringing together international Greenland rolling coaches James Manke, Eiichi Ito, How We Roll and Online Seakayaking coach James Stevenson.

This event will take place at Anglesey Outdoors. Please note that the Eventbrite ticket does not include camping, so you will need to arrange campsite booking directly with Anglesey Outdoors (they are aware of our event).

Join us for rolling classes and tidal environment paddles along the stunning coastline of Anglesey. This event is ideal for anyone looking to improve their roll and/or transfer their rolling skills to moving water. You can choose to focus solely on rolling throughout the weekend or combine rolling classes with tidal paddling.

Each day will begin at 9:00 AM. Over the weekend, we will cover:

1. An introduction to rolling principles that apply to any roll
2. Stretches and land exercises
3. Water-based rolling sessions
4. Kayak handling and rolling in tidal flow

On Saturday evening, we’ll gather in the bar-yurt with the coaches and fellow paddlers for some relaxed activities, such as knot workshops, and discussions on kayak outfitting and kayaking/coaching skills. We will wrap up the event on Sunday at 16:00.

Please bring your usual kayaking kit. Warm wetsuits, drysuits, tuiliks, neoprene hoods, nose clips, earplugs, or snorkeling masks will help keep you warm during the rolling sessions. Keep in mind that rolling classes are more intensive than a casual roll during a normal kayaking session, so please come prepared. We have a few spare Greenland paddles available, but please let us know in advance if you need one, so we can reserve it for you.

Chris Reed from Reed Chillcheater will join us as a coach and will have his mobile shop on-site, offering the opportunity to purchase additional gear. We are further lucky to have Amberwave from Scotland joining us, with their amazing Greenland paddels on sale.
