A continuation of our popular Introduction to Surf Zone class, this clinic specifically focused on coastal kayaking blends a mix of skills training, leadership, scenarios and rough water paddling in a big water environment. We will spend time within the surf zone building competency and refining techniques for surfing waves before heading up the coast into more removed waters. We will work on reading water, identify features for play, refine our judgement for near shore coastal exploration and progressively build a skill set for coastal exploration with an emphasis on safety.
Additional details will be provided upon registration, or call beforehand for the logistical details.
