Transition to Coast - Southern Oregon Coast


Course is full

Contact me with interest for future dates or waitlist

This class is designed to transition the inland kayaker to becoming an independent coastal paddler

This course was designed based on feedback from paddlers wanting to make the transition from paddling inland rivers and bays to the open waters of the Pacific Coast. It was designed to help get you through the transition onto the coast. We will work on skills such as identifying and reading the surf zone, holding position in that zone, bracing, side surfing, surfing, launching & landing. We will focus on paddling as a team, including how to explorer the coast and give your team the skills to help out when someone is in need. Current coastal paddlers can also get a lot out of this class as each student will be have the opportunity to be individually challenged increasing and developing their skills. As part of our coastal exploration there will be the option of rock gardening through out the entire weekend, plastic boats are recommended but not required, I have a couple spares if needed.
