Our towing class will give you a deep and diverse toolkit for towing sea kayakers in different environmental conditions and with a variety of techniques for situationals such as injury, equipment failure, fatigue or other preventative to paddling. We will begin our class within a calm water environment to develop a fundamental understanding of towing as a concept and the different tow systems available. After our initial classroom we will search for more dynamic waters such as waves or within rocks to practice in different environments and set-ups. There will be ample opportunities for practice in this class.
A sampling of the course content includes:
- Contact towing with and without a tow strap
- Towing using a tow belt, both inline and V
- Towing out from rocks to a safe harbor
- Situational towing (such as during a medical emergency)
- Towing within dynamic environments
