Kayak Classes

It' Time! Kayak and Canoe will offer kayak instruction for the novice beginning in Jan. 2010. These classes are designed to give the new paddler who wants to know more about kayaking a better understanding of how to maximize their experiences on the water.

The classes, in a series of three, will be held at the Port Charlotte Beach Park and will run two to three hours each. An hour or so of instruction and discussion will be followed by one and a half to two hours of paddling and practice.

Covered in the first lesson will be some boat terminology and the differences in basic kayak design. We will then look at some options for more easily getting in and out of a kayak, the basic paddle strokes used to efficiently move your kayak through the water and lastly - and most importantly - fundamental safety practices. Information on the remaining course schedule to come.

Sign up is easy. Just give us a call at 941 255-3686 or email us your intentions to attend the class.
