Learn how to safely ‘Wet Exit’ and 'Self-recover!’

Duration: 3 hours

This class is designed to introduce the basic skills required to safely sea kayak by yourself.

Students will learn about:
-Necessary equipment
-Paddle strokes
-Basic kayak exit and entry maneuvers
-Cold water safety
-On-water safety communication

Completing this class gives you the skills needed to rent our sea kayaks! Getting wet is mandatory to pass the Wet Exit Quiz.

Prerequisites: None! However, if this is your first time in a sea kayak and you want more time to get comfortable and learn basic paddle strokes check out our First Splash - Intro to Paddling course!

Next Step:This course is designed as a prerequisite to our Rescues & Recoveries class. These two are offered in succession for a full day of kayak skill growth!

If you complete both classes or you are an experienced paddler looking for even more growth, inquire about volunteering to assist with our programs!
