[smartslider3 slider=4]

Description:

This one-day comprehensive on-water course will give you the hands-on training and skills required to kayak in protected waters. This course features kayaking safety information, essential equipment knowledge, launching & landing skills, kayak strokes, and introduce you to edging (intentionally leaning your kayak). As well, you’ll have the opportunity to experience what it feels like to capsize in a kayak, how to be rescued by another kayaker, and how to rescue a paddling partner who has capsized. Finally, we’ll discuss useful information to round out your understanding of kayaking, including aspects of boat design, safety equipment, and proper clothing.

The skills and enthusiasm of our certified instructors, combined with the low participant:instructor ratio, will ensure a fun, comfortable, safe and educational experience!

Expected Outcome:

You will leave the Kayak: Combo course with the skills, knowledge and confidence necessary for kayaking trips in sheltered waters. You will receive your Paddle Canada Basic Kayak Skills certificate.

Instructor:Student Ratio:

1:6 (MAX) Our ratio is the lowest in Alberta to ensure you have the best instructional experience possible! ? Part of the famous Undercurrents experience!
