About the event
Our beginner trips welcome people new to kayaking, but if you are nervous or unsure if you would like kayaking, these learn to kayak one hour sessions are for you. We will demonstrate paddling techniques, fit you with a PFD and get you comfortably situated in your sit inside kayak. Then we will head practice in a calm and quiet pond. You can go as fast or slow as you like and stay near the launch or venture around the perimeter of the pond. Whatever your comfort level is, we will be with you to help you along the way. Guests who complete this session will receive a coupon for an upcoming ecotour.
Minimum physical requirements are to be able to get out of a sit inside kayak. If you aren't sure, try sitting in your bathtub and getting out. We will stabilize your boat as you enter and exit it. People with health conditions that prevent them from kayaking safely should not attend. I am happy to talk on the phone with anyone who has concerns about their ability.
