Learn the basics of kayaking on a 4-5 hour class designed for water-centric women. Practice new skills at a relaxed pace, with top-of-the-line kayaking gear, in the convenience of a local waterway and in the comfort of like-minded Super Ladies.
Start with on-land instruction and safety briefing, adjust the gear to your stature, and be on the water soon thereafter. Learn about proper strokes and correct paddling technique, basics of water safety, trip planning, and how to have an enjoyable time on the water.
Paddle for 3-4 hours and cover a distance of 4-6 miles. Take meaningful precautions to avoid unintended capsizes, however, small crafts are unstable and water dripping off the paddle into your lap is possible. Dress for immersion by wearing clothes made of synthetic materials that are comfortable and dry out quickly.
Avoid any cotton clothing and dress with a long sleeve shirt and long pants to avoid insects and sunburns. For exposed skin, bring sun cream and plan to apply often. Your feet will get wet up to knee. Water shoes, closed toed sandals, or old trainers are a great kayaking choice. Crocs, flip-flops, hiking boots and wellington boots are not good options.
Bring a large brim hat with under chin strap and sunglasses. Bring paddling gloves or cycling/workout gloves to prevent blisters and sunburn.
