If you are an intermediate level kayaker and would like to get more comfortable in coastal conditions, or in helping others do the same, this training event is for you!
This five-day workshop will take place in beautiful St Petersburg, FL. (What better place to be in the middle of winter?) Based on conditions, we have several paddling venues to choose from, including sheltered tidal waters like Shell Key Preserve and open water around Egmont Key.
These locations provide an excellent venue for intermediate paddlers to learn and practice strokes and rescues, as well as safely manage movement through open water challenges such as mild-to-moderate waves, surf, and current. You will have access to several Coastal and Open Water Instructors, which means lots of individual attention.
Skills students, Leader candidates, and Instructor candidates are all welcome and invited, and will have the opportunity to earn, the appropriate Level 2-3 Assessment or Certification. We will be working on specific skills in a specific set of conditions defined as "Level 2 to 3" and everyone's goals will be their own. We are here to provide coaching and assessment to help you move closer to, or achieve, those goals.
RESERVATIONS REQUIRED. Cost per person is $150/day, due by December 15. *Group discounts are available!* A limited supply of rental boats and/or gear are available upon request for an additional fee.
