Kayak Lesson and Instruction

Kayaking is super easy to learn. So why take a formal class? The answer is simple, if you want to master any sport then you have to dive deeper into the subject. Taking a formal kayak lesson gives us confidence as paddlers. A formal class will teach you the differences between a high angle forward stroke versus a low angle forward stroke. A kayak class can teach you how to read the river and understand currents which may not be visible to the novice paddler. Taking a formal lesson will give you the confidence to go further out because you will have mastered self-rescue techniques.

In our beginner class you will learn the basics of safe paddling. You will learn paddling strokes and simple maneuvers. Upon completion of the class you will have the confidence to paddle on flat water and gentle moving rivers. Our intermediate classes cover topics like advance paddling strokes and maneuvers, how to read a river and simple self-rescue techniques.
