Paddlers, come play with the San Diego Kayak Club!

The SDKC will launch out of Aqua Adventures and paddle over to Mariner’s Cove where they will work on various skills including Boat Control, Paddling Skills, Navigation, Recovery Methods, Self-Rescue using a Paddle Float, Signals, The Forward Stroke, The “Roll” and Towing Methods.
They will use the “usual” buddy format and practice whatever suits you.
Launch time is 10am so please make sure to arrive early to unload your gear.

If you need a boat, kayaks can be rented at Aqua Adventures for $20.
We do recommended to wear warm paddling clothes with a splash jacket or a dry top/dry suit.
Disclaimer: This is not an organized Aqua Adventures event. There will be experienced paddlers on this trip, but they will not be responsible for telling you what is or is not safe for you to do. We watch out for one another and assist one another, but all individuals are responsible for, and manage their own safety. This responsibility includes assessing your gear, skill level, and physical conditioning relative to conditions and location, as well as making decisions about what you will or will not do. Participants acknowledge that kayaking on the open sea or bay is inherently dangerous and can lead to physical injury including death as well as property damage. Participants, on their behalf and on behalf of their heirs and assignees, agree to hold the announcers and other participants blameless in the event of such injury, damage or death. Please join us if you want to mildly stretch your capabilities, but please stay home if you would be wildly stretching them. Participants should have bracing skills, be able to self-rescue and assist in the rescue of others. They should be able to launch and/or land in small surf.
