Some of the topics in this course include: Kayak types and parts, safety equipment and use, fit, launching & landing, wet exits (you will get wet here), individual and assisted re-entry techniques, all basic strokes and maneuvers, introduction to bracing. We usually finish this course with a short tour where we can immediately put to use our new strokes and maneuvers. Course Outline (PDF)

Prerequisite: Although no previous instruction is required, it is suggested that you have spent some time in a kayak.
This is a safety-oriented class designed for paddlers who are interested in paddling closed cockpit or touring kayaks. You will learn the proper techniques for exiting and then re-entering your kayak while in deep water. We cover both assisted and self rescues. Many people in this class have just purchased or are considering purchasing touring kayaks and want to know "what to do in the event of a capsize". Knowing that you can safely get back in your boat is probably the single most important ingredient in adding fun and enjoyment to your paddling.
Prerequisite: None (willingness to get wet)
Duration: 2-3 hours
Price: $125
This course is designed to help intermediate paddlers perfect their strokes and is great preparation for open water skills. Rather than just performing the strokes we will fine-tune them so that they are fluid, efficient and effective. We will emphasize the use of the entire body to propel and maneuver the kayak. The strokes covered will include: Forward, reverse, sweeps, static, sculling and hanging draws, bow & stern rudder, braces, low & high brace turns.
Duration 6-8 hours
