"Introduction to Kayak"
Kayaking 101
Anyone can kayak... really, it's pretty simple. BUT, you can definitely kayak a right way and a wrong way! And it takes so much longer to forget those bad habits then it does to simply learn it right the first time. So if you are in the market for your first kayak, or have already bought it, or maybe you just wanted to perfect some skills; let us get you off on the right foot... or should we say paddle! If you don't know terms like bow, stern, eddy, ferry, draw, CPR, torso rotation or more... then this class is for you!
Classes are offered every Sunday at 1PM beginning April 16th. Saturday and weekday classes available by appointment.
