The next step after Introduction to Kayaking !
Would you know what to do if your kayak capsized accidentally ?
Here’s your opportunity to learn rescue techniques in a controlled environment.
We’ll start with the wet exit, and teach you a variety of assisted and solo rescues that will get you back into your kayak and on your way.
Topics covered will include :
- Wet exit
- Capsize prevention included low and high bracing
- Assisted Rescues : T-Rescue, Eskimo bow rescue
- Self-rescue with paddle float
- Contact tow
- Review of recommended safety gear
Meet at Grand River Kayak at 1:00 for registration and equipment fitting, then follow us to the beach. Expect to be on the water for approximately 2.5 to 3 hours. This course combined with our Intro to Kayaking will give you the necessary skills to be a safe and confident paddler in calm, sheltered conditions.
Please note that our Intro to Kayaking course (or equivalent experience) is a
prerequisite to this course. Both courses are required for anyone wishing to
participate in any intermediate to advanced kayak tours.
