Instruction
Women’s Ocean Skills Clinic
Spend the day learning the skills you’ll need to be self-sufficient on the water, in a supportive, no-pressure environment.
Throughout the day, we will explore the beautiful coast and also focus on the foundations of kayak paddling. While in the protection of the harbor, we will work on boat control. Outside the harbor, we’ll stop for lunch, then end the day with practice of rescues geared specifically to women.
Our expert all-female instruction team will personalize the instruction to each member of the group, focusing on individual technique. If you want to expand your skills and boost your confidence on the ocean, all while having fun with good company, our Women’s Sea Kayak Clinic is for you.
This clinic is designed for women who are looking to start down the path of kayaking. No experience is necessary.
