Introductory Skills - Mount Desert Island, ME

  • 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 day on calm, warmer water, we’ll work with students to lay a foundation of paddling 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 for those who are new to paddling and those who have been kayaking for a while but haven’t had the opportunity to learn about rescues, bracing and a variety of strokes.

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

$160 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 16th. Register for 3 or more days in this series and save 10%!
