If you want to move past minimal skills in a recreational kayak or more importantly want to experience paddling a touring or sea kayak in all but the calmest conditions, you need a solid foundation. In this course you’ll learn everything the 'Recreational Kayaking' class covers, and we’ll also introduce strokes to move your kayak sideways, demonstrate a controlled capsize, otherwise known as a wet exit, and discuss the concept of torso rotation. We’ll help you discover subtle ways to improve your forward stroke and increase your directional control with reduced effort. On shore discussion will cover hypothermia, judgment, observation, and more. Every skill introduced will provide a foundation that will be built on in each subsequent course.
