It's that time of year again! Autumn in NE Florida always brings some spectacularly dynamic conditions to challenge your paddling skills and expand your comfort zone.
This popular multi-day event is an excellent opportunity for kayakers of intermediate level or higher to learn how to paddle and lead groups safely in open water, surf, and tidal currents. Topics covered include intermediate strokes, bracing, rolling, surfing, towing, and rescues, as well as navigation, reading conditions, and identifying safe zones. The stellar group of instructors, coming in from all over the country, will work directly with you to help you meet the challenge.
This event is also designed to provide the aspiring sea kayak instructor the opportunity to earn a Level 4 Skills Assessment, Trip Leader Assessment, Instructor Certification, or Update.
