Introductory Skills - Long Pond, MDI

  • Pond's End Boat ramp 149 Pretty Marsh Rd Mt Desert, ME, 04660 United States (map)

This is a great place to start! During an easy-paced afternoon on calm, warmer water, we’ll work with students to build or refine foundational skills. Topics will be customized to student’s individual needs, and include equipment selection, strokes, maneuvering, bracing (avoiding capsize), rescues (recovering from capsize) and safety planning.

This course is appropriate both for those who are newer to paddling and those who have been kayaking for a while but are looking to tune up their rescues, bracing and a variety of strokes.

Don’t have your own kayak? No problem! We can provide everything you need to get started.

$100 per person (equipment included, if needed) Contact us for more information or Register Here.

This is day one of our “Foundations” series of sea kayaking classes. Continue the journey with “Coastal Skills” on June 9th.
