Sea Kayaking Basics

You really can't do justice to the richly diverse sport of sea kayaking in a mere 3 hours, but a busy schedule shouldn't keep you from enjoying the pleasures of kayaking! We'll cover safe and effective techniques for propulsion, steering, and capsize prevention, plus capsize recovery, while focusing on kayaking safety so you can rent sit-inside kayaks and explore independently with confidence.  We'll open up a whole new world of fun on the water to help you experience San Diego as never before!

Our instructors are trained by highly certified instructor-trainers so you can be sure you'll get started right. Learning the correct techniques from the beginning will mean more enjoyment, less chance of injury, and lots of fun!
