The instruction will be in a protected, yet open water setting. The training is typically two students to an instructor providing ample time and guidance to practice wet exits and rescues, and basic paddle strokes. The first day we'll stick close to shore. The second day we will venture out around Dyes Inlet in small groups to work on various skills and enjoy the water!
