JUMP INTO OUR COMPREHENSIVE PADDLING SERIES
Upside down, backwards, sideways and forwards are just some of the ways you can look at this comprehensive program. If you’re a BEGINNING paddler, start you foray into the wet world of kayaking by gaining an immediate comfort level in your boat through exiting the boat when it is upside down. Then discover the concepts behind making a boat do what you want it to do, whether that is to go forward, stop turn or move sideways. You’ll have a chance to explore how the lower body controls much of what your boat does and discover how to prevent yourself from an unanticipated capsize utilizing both the paddle and some body English. Once you have the strokes down, try your hand at a few rescues. Learn how to get yourself or someone else back into the kayak quickly and efficiently in the event of a capsize. Better yet, learn the components of the Eskimo roll, the most efficient self-rescue, which utilizes a combination of the skills and body mechanics that have been previously introduced to you in the series. For the EXPERIENCED paddler, challenge yourself to new limits with your strokes to achieve a finesse, efficiency, and style on the water that will enhance your performance and confidence in open water conditions.
"We had a great time and learned a lot about kayaking. You and ALL the instructors were knowledgeable, professional, patient, and fun. This class has made us more confident and taught us many things that will help make our Alaska kayaking trip more enjoyable."
The Riddles
"Thanks for the great job you did teaching the pool class in Portland last weekend it was worth the wait. Having your great video as a follow up is also helping me. I am looking forward taking more class from H2Outfitters in the future."
