This exciting sea-kayaking course is perfect anyone who wants to be more prepared when they head out on the water. You’ll spend half a day with our experienced instructors learning and practicing the critical skills of what to do in case of a capsize, making sure you’re able to get back into your kayak and get your paddling partners back into theirs.
Our instructors will share their years of kayaking wisdom with you, in a small group setting that offers plenty of one-on-one attention. You’ll start by learning essential safety and rescue techniques, including wet exits, T-rescues, and re-entry with a paddle float. You’ll then have the opportunity to practice these techniques, gaining proficiency and confidence with each passing hour. By the end of the day, you’ll be ready to take on new paddling venues and adventures, with the knowledge you need to keep you and your partners safe.
Expect to work hard, get wet, and most importantly, have fun! You should expect to see substantial improvements in your rescue technique by the end of the course.
All necessary paddling equipment is provided.
