KAYAKING CLASSES
Anytime is a good time to learn kayaking. We offer courses in basic kayaking skills- flatwater and rolls. Classes for those new to the sport. Classes are on an individual basis, private classes are offered through Divers Reef so contact the Reef at 531-7100. Types of classes are: sport, touring, whitewater, and sit-on-top. QUICK START The Quick Start or Flatwater course is 3-5 hour introductory session in a controlled environment with emphasis on equipment, basic water skills and, above all, safety. At the end of the course you'll have the basic skills needed to safely get around on lakes or bodies of protected (calm) salt water. Or, you'll be ready to progress toward river kayaking. THE ROLL CLINIC The Roll Clinic is a two hour class that is designed specifically to improve and expand your roll skills. Left side, right side, and hand rolls will be learned and practiced in preparation for river kayaking. INTRODUCTION TO RIVER KAYAKING COURSE This class is designed to build upon the skills you've already acquired and actually get you out into whitewater. During the course, you'll learn some of the fundamental moves - like eddy turns, peel outs, and surfing - as well as how to avoid common river dangers. When you've finished, you'll have the knowledge and ability to safely navigate Class 1 and Class 2 rapids.
