Pool Sea Kayak "Learn to Paddle" Course

Great for the beginner or intermediate, as we learn an efficient forward stroke, and really push the limits of bracing and edging in a nice warm pool. (Learning and practicing bracing is what will stop a possible capsize, and edging is key in the direction your kayak takes while efficiently paddling). An amazing course that allows you to comfortably capsize as often as you like in order for you to learn what these boats can really allow you to do! A great course to take along with our pool rescue course. Maximum class size is 6 with 2 instructors. Classes run from 7-9pm or 9-11pm.
