Welcome to the dynamic world of sea kayaking. Whether this is your first time in a sea kayak, or you have tried sea kayaking before, this course will give you the tools to safely, efficiently, and confidently enjoy sea kayaking on your own.
You will be taught in closed deck (sit-inside) sea kayaks in the calm and protection of the Santa Barbara Harbor. We'll learn kayak anatomy, kayak fit, gear essentials, and clothing selection. We will cover a variety of basic paddle strokes with an emphasis on efficiency, injury prevention, and finesse. Lots of individual feedback! After a lunch on the beach, its time to get wet. We will learn how to get back into our kayaks after a capsize using both self and assisted rescues. Come prepared for a full day of fun on the water!
