Fit and Safety/Strokes and Rescues-Pre trip Prep.

august 17 324smThese 3 hr lessons will help you start out right each time you go paddling or planning on joining one of our beginner trips.  Kayaks, like clothes, are something to wear and making sure your kayak fits to your liking is essential to your enjoyment and good skill development.  So many  boats, so little time…  how do you know which one is right?  Get a start on the answer at this clinic.  We cover paddles, PFD’s, safety gear, boat set up, launch and landing; all the right stuff to get you started and comfortable for your trip with us.  Then it’s on the water to cover the basics: forward stroke, backing, turning and stopping.  Once you’ve mastered those, you can go just about anywhere.  It’s not rocket science, but it is ‘kayak science’.  Lessons start  in the afternoon, about 1:00 pm and continue until we’re done, usually around 4:00.  You can buy them separately depending on your needs, experience and availability.
