The Introduction to Sea Kayaking Weekend is 2 full days of touring kayak instruction in and around the Calgary/Kananaskis area. Over the weekend, participants will learn key sea kayaking techniques, including solo and assisted rescues, paddling strokes, boat control, and trip planning.
The aim of this program is to introduce participants to kayak touring/sea kayak basics in a fairly comprehensive manner. During the weekend paddlers will learn and practise a number of different sea kayak solo and assisted rescues, basic paddling skills and boat control, trip planning, gear/boat overview, kayak packing, weather considerations and much more. On Sunday, enjoy a scenic paddle on a stunning mountain lake, putting your newly acquired skills to the test and learning a few more.
After completing this course participants can expect to have a good understanding of how to organize and implement a 1 - 2 day sea kayak trip in a mountain lake environment safely and with confidence. This a great program for those planning on self-guided or guided trips on the ocean.
