2022 Paddlers Workshops

Paddlers Workshop

Dates:

2nd and 4th April

Price: $50 per person

Starts 10am at Mill Bay Marina

These workshops are packed with skills based hands on learning, paddle techniques, rescue skills and covers some of those must know theory subjects.

Our main goal is to share our passion for sea kayaking, and help prepare paddlers for their future adventures. Activities focus on safety and gaining the paddling and seamanship skills necessary for a day trip within a sheltered bay along a shoreline with easy landing opportunities.

The "core" paddling strokes, wet exits and proven rescue techniques make up the bulk of this excellent workshop.

Loaded with learning and fun, this day is MUST for any new paddler or Kayakers wishing to re-visit skills.

This is an organized event which is being run by certified Paddle Canada instructors. Your safety is our number 1 concern and participants must ensure they have the correct safety gear and a sea worthy kayak (correctly fitted seat, foot pegs, water tight hatches and perimeter lines on the deck) If anyone has any questions about this please give me a call on 250 710 7693

We have 8 places available on a first come first served basis.

This workshop also provides participants with the opportunity to test paddle the full range of NDK Kayaks along with Lendal, Celtic and Gear Lab paddles. Those paddlers wishing to test paddle or try gear need to let us know by email in advance so we can make sure the correct kayak and equipment is made avaialble.
