We are delighted to present the first ever and only 2025 Scottish Stay Salty Event! You can join for a very special rolling class on Tuesday 9 September on the beautiful Ayrshire Coast. This four hour intensive rolling clinic, following on from our event in Anglesey the previous weekend, bringing together international Greenland rolling coaches James Manke, Eiichi Ito and How We Roll associated coach Lorna Dixon, who you may know from several of our UK events in recent years, in her home of Ayrshire, Scotland.
This event will take place at Prestwick Sailing Club (unless poor weather conditions require an alternative, in which case participants would be contacted by email with an alternative Ayrshire venue the day before the event). Toilet/changing facilities are available and there will be an honest snack and refreshment bar on site too.
This event is ideal for anyone looking to develop or improve their roll, giving a deeper understanding of the principles behind successful, smooth Greenland rolling. While this is a greenland rolling course you can also choose to work with a Euroblade as the principles can be applied just the same.
The course will begin at 10:00 AM. Over the four hours, we will cover:
- An introduction to rolling principles that apply to any roll
- Stretches and land exercises
- Water-based rolling session
We will wrap up the event at 14:00.
Please bring your usual kayaking kit. Warm wetsuits, drysuits, tuiliks, neoprene hoods, nose clips, earplugs, or snorkelling masks will help keep you warm during the rolling sessions, so please consider what protection from the cold water you will choose and bring that along if you can. Keep in mind that rolling classes are more intensive than a casual roll during a normal kayaking session, so please come prepared! Warm clothes for afterwards and a hot drink are recommended!
Please let us know if you don't have your own Greenland stick to bring along. We can help with those who do not as we are lucky to have a beautiful Amberwave demo paddle available at the event for participants to see and try should they wish.
