Private classes are
designed with your specific goals in mind. Our goal
is to help you build a solid foundation of sea kayaking
techniques and safety skills. We begin by assessing
your present abilities and strengths, then based on
what we have learned, we tailor the session to your
individual needs and desires.
You will be practicing
the fundamentals as well as adding new techniques.
We can concentrate on 1 or 2 areas such as recoveries
and strokes or depending on your skill level move
on to more advanced skills such as bracing, edge turns,
tides & currents, and advanced rescue techniques.
By the end of this class you will have intelligently
discussed safety, gear, and risk assessment. You and
your instructor will you assess your skill level at
the end of the day and discuss your new paddling options;
where and what conditions you are now prepared to
enjoy.

Our
Instruction Style
The American Canoe Association
(ACA) and the British Canoe Union (BCU) have each developed
an extensive program for sea kayak instruction. PRO's
ACA trained Scott Terriberry and BCU certified Ted Brechbill
have designed a unique curriculum that provides a combination
of both ACA and BCU styles, offering a wide variety
of techniques.
All our classes and clinics utilize aspects of both
programs. You will receive some of the best instruction
on the west coast. The combination of small class sizes
and highly qualified instructors provides you with individualized
attention that maximizes your learning opportunity. |
