Looking for trips in Zeeland

[raftinthomas]

Hi,

we are two (or three) experienced white-water-kayakers from Aken. We are looking for other sea-kayakers in the regions south of Netherlands/north Belgium/Antwerpen who want to introduce us in the region and the technics of tides, streams and nautical maps etc,
We all roll without problems, have own seakayaks, full equipped, and can use rescue-technics like V-reentry.
So we're just looking to explore a new region for us- a salty one. And are looking forward to find new friends...

Helemaal bedankt en tot ziens, Thomas

helemaal bedankt mannen,

the north is fine, but for me Zeeland is less than two hours to drive and worth for daytrips.

I don't look for any kind of courses. On the one hand I always was disapointed after a kayak course because of too less content and a too less skills of other participants. Only exception: Personal trainer.
On the other hand a course isn't what I'm looking for. It's not my spirit. I want to paddle and get some skills in nautic-maps etc by doing it. And this in a safe way, means not (only) as an autodidact. (btw: If anybody wants the same in whitewater- you're welcome, the Rur is my homespot).

When I want to do this? The whole year, basically the weekends. Hollidays are reserved for whitewatertrips, in winter there's water in the Eifel-rivers. In general there's no bad weather, as long as the water isn't covered with ice.
Big rivers like Rhine and Maas is no problem at all, I'm used in it.
My friend just rounded Elba and told that it was nice, but not exiting.

Bedankt voor uw hulp,

Thomas

edit: Dank uw for the agenda, I'll contact the kano club zeeland.

All the mentioned courses have seperated groups for differend skilled kajakkers. At the other hand you have a lot of diferential in your skills because of your WW skills. So the main thing to learn is navigation and responces to 'trouble'.

KCZ I don't know (live not near Zeeland) Peddepraat I can recommend (30 E yearly, no aditional cost) NKB ask a fee each tour, only a few Euro. Tourleaders of different orginisations can even be the same persons so there are no real major differences between the organisations.
