Intro to Sea Kayaking
This class is designed to give beginners the best start in kayaking. We start with a review of equipment and safety, then move into a protected harbor to practice maneuvering, bracing and strokes. After lunch we will learn about assisted and solo rescues and, time permitting, take a tour of the area to try out our new skills. This is a full day course at a relaxed pace. Excellent snacks, lunches and drinks are provided. Each class has a teacher to student ratio of one to four or better. Our lead instructor is both ACA and BCU certified.

Sea Kayaking II
This class builds upon
the skills acquired in our Introduction to Sea Kayaking course.
It will take the paddler to the “next level” by refining basic
strokes and learning to elegantly combine them on the move.
We like to structure this class in the form of a day’s journey.
This format provides us with an array of real life situations
in which to learn new skills. Excellent snacks, lunches and
drinks are provided. Each class has a teacher to student ratio
of one to four or better. Our lead instructor is both ACA and
BCU certified.
