kayaking learn about the basics of kayaks and accessory equipment, stroke and
rescue techniques, and how to be safe on the water. Both group lessons and
one-on-one with the instructors are available, and time is allowed for free
paddling and becoming comfortable with newly acquired skills.
• Advanced Flat-Water Kayaking –
Skills that are distinct to sea kayaking are learned, and the class builds upon
the skills established in the Intro course. Clients will polish their basic
skills, learn advanced stroke and safety techniques, and become more confident
and independent on the water. Both group lessons and one-on-one with the
instructors are available, and time is allowed for free paddling and becoming
comfortable with newly acquired skills. ( Prerequisite : Intro to Kayak or

•Eskimo Rolling – In this course,
clients will learn the various techniques of a capsized self-rescue. This
custom, self-paced class can be run in a controlled outdoor setting or indoor
pool upon request. To get the most out of this class, we encourage clients to
take this class as an addition to our general kayaking courses. Both group
lessons and one-on-one with the instructors are available, and time is allowed
for free paddling and becoming comfortable with newly acquired skills.
Canoeing

to navigate both solo and tandem in canoes, allowing them to first experience
how their individual movements effect a boat before working with a partner to
perform maneuvers in tandem. Both group lessons and one-on-one with the

comfortable with newly acquired skills. A partner (your instructor) can be
supplied at no cost for Tandem instruction.

more advanced technical theory. Boat handling skills are fine-tuned and clients
work towards efficiency of motion and proper body positioning in both touring
and racing strokes. Both group lessons and one-on-one with the instructors are
available, and time is allowed for free paddling and becoming comfortable with
newly acquired skills. A partner (your instructor) can be supplied at no cost
