Coastal Kayaking Open Water Instructor
| We particularly enjoy
conducting courses with individuals and small groups. This way we can provide a
maximum amount of individual coaching -- your learning curve will be steeper,
you'll gain confidence more quickly, and you'll have more fun! Because our instruction is one-on-one or small group, we can tailor our courses to meet individual needs and interests. A basic Intro to Kayaking course can last as little as 2 hours. More in-depth instruction can be as much as 3 days and can be combined with paddling to various destinations. A sampling of topics is listed below. Rescue technique: wet exit t-rescue, conventional t-rescue, modified self-rescue using paddle float Eskimo rescue re-entry and roll, assisted re-entry and roll w/ paddle float all-in re-entry and (assisted) roll rafted tow rope tow rentry w/ rescue sling Paddling Technique: forward touring stroke power forward stroke reverse stroke j-lean forward sweep reverse sweep draw skulling draw hip flick hip check head dink low brace high brace high brace turn Eskimo roll Navigation & Safety: chart & compass basics GPS basics tides, currents wind, waves, & weather VHF basics Read our article, "The Paddle-Float Assisted Re-entry & Roll" |
