Surf Kayaking Instruction

SURF KAYAKING LEVEL 1      Sit on Top Slideshow 

This class, for complete beginners, is a lot of fun and a great intro to wave riding. Flat water strokes will be introduced and modified  to fit the shore break environment. We will work on surf zone comfort and progression, paddling in the 'soup' zone before tackling the 'green' stuff. Life is a beach, but it's better in the surf. We use Sit-on-Top surf kayaks and a roll is not necessary.  Youth workshops available. 4 hrs - $105

SURF KAYAKING LEVEL 2
