Safety and Rescue Workshop
- Being safe on the water is your top priority. Our Safety & Rescue Workshop prepares you for the unexpected and will help build your confidence on the water. We will cover wet exits (getting out of your kayak once it has capsized), recoveries (getting back into your kayak solo & assisted), bracing (preventing capsize), and simple towing techniques.
These safety skills are essential to all kayakers and should be practiced regularly. This is a great follow up class to our Introduction to Kayaking class.
