What is MyWild Reset

My Wild Reset offers guided sea kayaking and outdoor skills experiences along the wild South Devon coastline near Exeter, designed to help busy professionals disconnect from the noise of everyday life and reconnect with clarity, capability, and calm.

 

This is not a luxury retreat.

This is not a tourist kayaking tour.

This is a raw outdoor reset built around:

 

  • Immersive time on the water
  • Simple, grounding bushcraft
  • Digital disconnection
  • Physical challenge with expert support
  • Quiet moments that bring clarity

Designed to help your nervous system slow down, your thinking sharpen, and your confidence rebuild – naturally.

Why Sea kayaking

There is something uniquely powerful about moving across open water under your own power.

 

The steady rhythm of paddling, the sound of the sea and the simple focus of navigating the coastline create the conditions for your mind to gradually settle.

 

Out here, away from screens, notifications and constant decision-making, your attention naturally shifts.

 

Thoughts slow down.
Breathing deepens.
Perspective returns.

 

The wild South Devon coastline near Exeter provides the perfect environment for this kind of reset – quiet coves, open horizons and a landscape that invites you to slow down and reconnect.

 

You don’t need prior kayaking experience.

Just a willingness to step away from the noise for a while and let the rhythm of the water do its work.

 

Our participants consistently say:

“I arrived overwhelmed. I paddled home renewed.”

Reviews from our clients

When term’s over and I need some kayak time, Dave is my go to guide. Friendly, knowledgeable, and reliably calm on the water, he’s helped me build confidence while exploring different environments and techniques. All with a brilliant sense of fun and humour. I always look forward to my next session!

Layla

Never a wrong decision to have some time with Dave and book in a 121 or one of his experiences. I’ve had the privilege of spending time outdoors with Dave, and his depth of knowledge and calm confidence are immediately evident. He brings years of experience in kayaking and wilderness skills, but never with ego, super personable and genuine.

Tania

Dave is an extremely good teacher – enthusiastic, competent and very patient. He instils knowledge in a practical and thorough way, and he is a very likeable person.
