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.

Upon completion of this course, you will have the skills and confidence to paddle your kayak, to rescue yourself and rescue others in protected waters.
