These events are fun and easy for people of all ages. We do ask that you are comfortable paddling several miles and you must know how to swim. Your guide/s will show you kayaking basics and how to re-enter your kayak prior to getting on the water.

Paddle Sports employs and trains friendly outdoor professionals that specialize in leading and teaching groups of kayakers with little or no experience.

Kids:
We can accomodate all ages over 8 years old. Children under 12 will be in kayaks with an adult (parent/guardian).

Overview Skills More Info
This should be the first class you take to learn basic kayaking skills.

Sit-on-top kayaks offer fun and easy access to recreational and family paddling, fishing, diving, and weekend camping.

Taught in the calm waters and protection of the Santa Barbara Harbor, we will cover a variety of basic paddle strokes with an emphasis on efficiency, injury prevention, and finesse. Lots of individual feedback!

Gain confidence by learning how to get back on your kayak after a capsize, using solo and assisted rescues. This course is a good way to demo different styles of sit-on-top kayaks-- from short and maneuverable to long and fast.

This class takes place in the Santa Barbara Harbor starting in May of 2007.
