Introduction to Kayaking
Did you just buy a kayak and want to learn a little bit before you take off on your own? Have you always wanted to try kayaking, but never wanted to spend the money on buying all that gear yourself? Well this course is the answer to both!!
Introduction to kayaking is the best way to learn how to kayak the right way. Kayaking has become a great way for people to get exercise and enjoy the outdoors. We will spend the day learning how to carry, outfit your kayak, launch and land, efficient paddle strokes, self and assisted rescue, and use of accessories. The course will provide you with the knowledge to paddle your kayak confidently in varying conditions and plans for when things go wrong. The basic kayak course will develop a strong foundation for your years of paddling to come. We supply all of the necessary gear but encourage you to bring any kayaking equipment that you own that you would like to better understand.
