* Intro to Kayaking

This class is for the person who has never been in a kayak. It introduces the kayak and the proper equipment used for the sport. In this lesson you will learn how to "wet exit" the kayak and swim the boat and gear to shore. Basic paddling strokes will be introduced. If time allows, we will introduce the fundamentals of the kayak roll.

* Learn to Roll Class

This class focuses on teaching rolling technique. You will learn a "C-to-C" or "Sweep Roll". We adjust our rolling technique instruction to meet your individual need. Ready to roll?

Sign up for a great combination of pool lessons. Break into the kayaking scene with the Intro to Kayaking, Learn to Roll Class, and Building your Combat Roll with Bracing Class. Build those basic skills necessary for cruising down rivers. You get all three pool sessions for $100. What a Deal!

* Refresher Class

Lose your roll? Want to learn an offside roll, sweep, or a backdeck roll? Need a tuneup on high or low bracing? If so, this is the class for you.
