NOLI Flatwater Kayak Instructional - Half-day

NOLI Flatwater Kayak Instructional - Jul 25 at Watauga Lake, Hampton, TN - other dates available

Join kayak instructor Debbie Briscoe for a half-day instructional paddle on the vibrant blue green waters of Watauga Lake, one of Northeast Tennessee's most beautiful waterways. The Flatwater Kayak Instructional goes into detail on the boats, equipment, fundamentals, strokes, safety considerations and boat handling techniques that will help those with no experience who are interested in getting into the sport as well as those who already have experience and are interested in taking their paddling to the next level.

After the land-based instruction the majority of the class will be spent on the water, first in a protected cove working on fundamentals and strokes and then embarking into the main channel where you will continue to refine your paddling with the help of your instructor. We'll take a well-earned break on a wooded island for lunch (the views are spectacular) before paddling back to where we started to wrap up a great day on the water.

Participants can either bring their own kayak and equipment or we can outfit you with one of our Wilderness Systems kayaks, paddles and PFDs by selecting the Kayak Add-On option at checkout. Ages 10+. Cost is $115. For more information and to register go to https://www.nolilearn.org/activity/flatwater-kayak-instructional.

Flatwater Kayak Feedback:
"Excellent day on gorgeous Watauga Lake! Debbie, our leader, was very informative and provided the training we needed to maneuver around the lake and coves. I will certainly do this again:)"
