Body, boat, and blade blend together in this immersive kayaking course.

Whether you’re an excited new paddling student, coming back after a hiatus with your brand new kayak, or grew up self-taught and want to grow your technique, this may be the push you’ve been looking for. Our instructors will teach you everything you need to know to start hitting the water with confidence and give you the tools to level up your skills.

If you have your own kayak, you are encouraged to use it. If you don’t own yet or want to learn more in order to make a smart purchase, you can rent one of ours for the lesson.

*Course also requires a 30-minute virtual pre-course check-in
