Intro to Paddling Info and Application

The Intro to Paddling class is for kids (age 8+) who would like to discover the sport of paddling. We teach water safety and paddling technique in kayaks, surfskis, high-kneel canoes, and SUPs (Stand-Up Paddleboards). Upon completion of one of our 2-week sessions, kids are welcome and encouraged to join our Development Team to continue their paddling journey!
