Beginning Kayak Roll - 2024

Sea Kayaking Course

Beginning Kayak Roll

Includes three two-hour pool sessions where you will work with an instructor on learning to roll your kayak.

Kayak rolling is an extremely valuable skill. Not only will you be able to get back up in a few seconds after a capsize, but it's fun! Your confidence level will soar. You will be able to push the limits on kayak strokes and maneuvers, knowing that if you capsize, you can come back up without having to wet exit.

Course Requirements

This course has no scheduled activities.

Roster
Required Equipment

Please bring your own properly fitted kayak. Rolling a kayak requires being able to flip the boat upright using your knees, so if your kayak does not have knee braces, we recommend adding some before the class. You will also need a spray skirt and a paddle. We recommend wearing a PFD to get used to rolling with one on. We also recommend either a pair of goggles and nose clips, or a diving mask that covers your eyes and nose. You may also want to consider wearing a wetsuit or shorty wetsuit if you have one, but this is not required. Lockers are available; bring your own lock.
