ABC Kayaking: FUNdamentals
Event Information
About this Event
Learn a new skill and start enjoying your lake safely by kayak!
As a certified kayak instructor and kayak tour guide I have met many people that have been paddling for years, and still have not learned the efficient way of kayaking that keeps them safe from injury. For this reason, we will put an emphasis on safety while we help you obtain the knowledge and skills necessary to explore all waterways with confidence.
In this course we will work on fundamental paddling strokes, such as forward stroke refinement, reverse stroke, and forward and reverse sweep. You will also learn about kayaking safety, equipment, launching and landing, and more.
Make sure to have an extra bottle of water for these hot Florida days. There is always the possibility to get wet when you put a boat on water so bring a waterproof dry bag to keep any valuables dry, or plan to leave those objects in your vehicle. If you have your own kayak and gear, bring it, otherwise you can rent a kayak and gear from us.
This is a rain or shine class! The only time a class will be rescheduled is in the event of lightning.
Disclaimer: Any class with 5 or less participants is subject to cancellation as late as 2 hours prior to the scheduled start time due to low enrollment.
