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! Please consider our Fast Track Course on July 13 and 14, 2011. (You can enroll for one or both dates). 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" |
