Kayak Instruction Inc.

This clinic is an excellent follow up clinic to the QuickStart and Intro to Kayaking Clinics. It is also an excellent precursor to the White Water Clinics. In this course the student will learn proper boat fit effective for rolling, will learn to safely perform a controlled wet exit from a skirted kayak. We will teach you the proper body and paddle placement to successfully roll your kayak upright..

This clinic is most effective when delivered in two sessions. The first session is approximately 1 hour and is spent viewing the video "Grace Under Pressure". This video not only gives excellent instruction on rolling technique, but also prepares you mentally for experiencing and conquering a low oxygen environment. The second session is 4 hours and is done at a local pool. The pool provides a relaxed environment so the student can experience and practice this skill.

Although not required before taking the Whitewater clinics, the student who completes this class will have a more rewarding experience when pursuing more challenging water.
