If needing a wetsuit - seek out a local Scuba Dive shop which will rent out 3 to 4 mm thickness suits.Cost – $80 per person. Class size limited to 8 participants. Please dress for the water temperatures, have a change of clothes/towel in your car. Should you need to borrow- the use of Kayak, paddle and PFD are included in the price (please indicate this on the registration page. There are kayaks and gear for the first 8 who require these items. Touring and Sea kayaks with bulkheads will be required for this class – if you are uncertain if your kayak falls under this category, give us a call – otherwise, we can lend you our gear.
The Kayak Rescue session is designed for the more seasoned paddler. Kayak rescues are an exciting way to go outside your comfort level and understand a valuable survival tool. This is a 4 hour session intended for those who wish to understand how to get yourself or others back into the kayak, while on the water. Prerequisite for this class is basic knowledge about your kayak (or previous student of either the Kickstart or the Essentials classes), and a wet-exit ability.
