If
you want to get a quick start in to the sport of Kayaking, this is the perfect
clinic for you. This is a 3 hour course which
follows the ACA QuickStart Clinic format. The
purpose of this course is to expose you, the participant, to basic paddling and
safety skills necessary to explore the different crafts used in the kayaking
sport. No special skills or previous experience is
necessary. This clinic is taught on quiet water and is the perfect environment
to "get your feet wet" and experience a new sport
in a controlled and safe environment.
In this class the student will be able to try out different types of kayaks;
whitewater, recreational, sit on tops and sea
kayaks. By being able to experience all these different type of
boats, you will learn faster than in classes that do not have such a diverse
fleet. After this class, the student will be able to look at a kayak and
identify its characteristics simply by looking at it. This class serves as a
demo program to help the student identify the kayak they will eventually want
to purchase.
The QuickStart program is a must for
beginning kayakers who want to avoid the pitfalls of a trial and
error learning process. Many of the correct kayaking skills are counter
intuitive and a good instructor can save you time and frustration and speed
your advancement with this recreational sport.
