This course is similar to our three-day beginning kayak instruction, just fit into two days. It is designed for the beginning kayaker who does not have time to commit to three days and feels comfortable moving at an accelerated pace. The goal of the course is to provide novice kayakers with the fundamental skills to begin kayaking on Class I and II whitewater.

On the first day, we will introduce students to the equipment necessary for kayaking and assist students with equipment selection and boat fitting.
We will then spend time in the lake learning the basics of safe boat exit and practicing the fundamentals for the Eskimo roll progression. After the lake session, we are off to work on the basics of kayak handling and maneuvering.
