Optimum retention of knowledge can be achieved when you have more opportunity for reinforcement. A clear progression of classes translates to greater paddling skills and increased enthusiasm for the sport!

Full Immersion Sea Kayak I will be scheduled periodically throughout the year. Call to reserve your spot in the next class.
