The Quick Start Plus Recreational Kayaking Course is a 2 x 2.5 hour evening program.
The aim of this program is to introduce participants to the basics of recreational kayaking in both a flatwater and slow-moving water environment. Our instructors will introduce, demonstrate, and help the paddlers practice basic paddling techniques, rescue and safety concepts, location options (for after the course), talk about gear, and much more.
After completing this course, participants can expect to feel confident in heading out to sheltered bodies of flatwater and specific sections of river on self-directed paddling trips.
