Adult Lessons

We will teach you the basics to be efficient and safe on the water!

We offer private lessons so we can focus all our attention on your needs and abilities.

It helps if you are already comfortable around the water, but we also specialize in helping those with a fear of the water or with special needs.

Every person is different but all ages and abilities can learn to kayak.

    We provide the following:

    • Kayaks for each person, solo or tandem or both.
    • Properly fitted life vests for each person, large and small.
    • Adult-size paddles.
    • Safety and rescue equipment
    • ACA Certified Kayaking Instructor

    Here are some of the topics covered:

    • Proper fit of a life vest
    • Balance while in the kayak
    • Getting in and out of a kayak from shore
    • Six different paddling strokes: forward, reverse, turning sweeps, side draw, sculling, rudder
    • Capsize and recovery with assistance and self rescue.

    Each session is 3 hours and is reserved just for you.
