What To Expect
Do you want to learn to paddle but are not sure where to start or have you been paddling but want to learn how to do it more efficiently?
We will work on fundamental paddling strokes, such as forward stroke refinement, reverse stroke, and forward and reverse sweep. You will also learn about kayaking safety, equipment, launching and landing, and more.
Make sure to have an extra bottle of water for these hot Florida days. There is always the possibility to get wet when you put a boat on water so bring a waterproof dry bag to keep any valuables dry, or plan to leave those objects in your vehicle.
If you have your own kayaking gear, bring it, otherwise we are able to rent a kayak and gear.
This is a rain or shine class! The only time a class will be rescheduled is in the event of lightning.
