Kayak Flatwater Introductory Lesson

Kayak Flatwater Introductory lesson:

We will teach you the basic skills to get in and out of the boat safely, paddle straight, turn, backup and stop on flatwater such as the Tualatin River. You will have time to practice these skills with a guided paddle on the river. This class is appropriate for individuals and partners. Both solo and tandem kayaks are available. Class includes boat, paddle, and life jacket.

Build your confidence with basic skills to venture out on short paddling adventures on your own someday!
