When the feel-like temps begin heating up in early spring many people are (understandably) eager to get out on the water. But before you launch your kayak or paddleboard you need to make sure you’re prepared for the unexpected: cold water immersion. Capsizing or falling off your board in cold water can K*ll you if you aren’t prepared and survival time in cold water can vary from seconds to hours, with striking contrasts. This free in-store presentation covers what kayakers and paddleboarders need to know about safely paddling in cold water, from the 4 stages of cold water immersion and the physiological effects to what gear you should be wearing in these temperatures.
This event is free, however seating is limited. Please reserve your spot by registering with us to ensure we have enough chairs.
