What will I learn?

You'll start by learning how kayaks work, how to choose the right gear, and the safety rules every paddler needs before entering the water. From there, you'll build real on-water skills: launching, landing, maintaining balance, and performing the five core paddle strokes. You'll learn how to read water conditions, understand tides and currents, and make smart go/no-go decisions based on weather. Rescue skills are covered in depth, including self-rescue and assisted T-rescue techniques. The course also walks you through navigation using charts, compass, and GPS, plus multi-day trip planning and expedition logistics. By the end, you'll have the knowledge and practical skills to paddle safely and independently in a wide range of conditions.
