Kayak Pool Sessions

‘Being chill while hanging upside down is critical to every other paddling skill. We’ve developed a great progression to get you feeling relaxed and unconcerned about being upside down in your kayak. We will move along the progression at a rate that makes you comfortable. Once you’re happy capsizing and hanging out there for a few seconds, you’ll be in the best place to learn the roll.

Not tipping over is almost always better than capsizing. Bracing is also a component skill for learning to roll a kayak. We’ll cover the essentials of connectivity with the boat, safe body positions, effective blade technique and putting it all together to stay upright.

Fine-tune your boat control and maneuvers with precision and grace.  We’ll explore a range of skills to help you go where you want to go. Build a connection with the water and start to move with intention.

Structured rolling instruction is available at most pool sessions this season. Kayak rolling is on almost every paddler’s “want” list.  You won’t learn much about rolling a kayak on your own, so learning from a coach who can guide you through a progression is the fastest way to get a roll. Our semi-private rolling lessons are a great way to get started, as you’ll have time to rest between one-on-one sessions with the coach and learn by observing your fellow student.
